    Court Decision Summary The court dismissed proceedings against Sahidbhai Umarfaruk Tiladi for liquor consumption under Section 66(1)(B) of the Gujarat Prohibition Act. The court held that following the 2017 amendment repealing Section 118 of the Act, offences under Section 66(1)(B) for first-time consumption (carrying maximum six-month imprisonment) are now classified as non-cognizable offences, and therefore cognizance cannot be taken without prior magistrate permission under Section 174(2) of the BNSS, 2023. The case was dropped with liberty for prosecution to pursue appropriate legal remedies. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
