Case Summary The court DROPPED all criminal proceedings against the accused for liquor consumption under the Gujarat Prohibition Act. The court held that the 2017 Amendment deleted the cognizable classification, making the offense non-cognizable (maximum 6 months imprisonment). Since the investigating officer failed to obtain prior Magistrate permission as required under Section 155(2) CrPC before investigation, the investigation was illegal and vitiated, rendering the charge-sheet inadmissible. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
