ORDER

Summary The court held that offences under Section 185 of the Motor Vehicles Act (drunk driving) and Section 66(1)(B) of the Gujarat Prohibition Act (liquor consumption) are non-cognizable offences requiring prior magistrate permission before police investigation, per Section 174(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. Since no such permission was obtained, the court declined cognizance and dropped proceedings against the accused, though prosecution may pursue appropriate remedies under law. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
