    Order

    Summary The court DROPPED criminal proceedings against the accused for liquor consumption under the Gujarat Prohibition Act. The court held that the 2017 Amendment deleted the cognizable offense classification, making the offense non-cognizable (maximum punishment 6 months). Since the investigating officer failed to obtain prior Magistrate's permission as mandated under CrPC Section 155(2) before investigating, 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.
