Final Orders / Judgements
Summary The court dismissed proceedings against the accused under Section 66(1)(B) of the Gujarat Prohibition Act (liquor consumption case) on the grounds that after the 2017 amendment repealed Section 118, the offence became non-cognizable rather than cognizable. Since first-time consumption carries a maximum punishment of only six months—falling below the three-year threshold—it qualifies as a non-cognizable offence requiring prior magistrate permission under Section 174(2) of the BNSS 2023, which was not obtained. The court dropped the case with liberty for prosecution to pursue appropriate remedies. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
