Final Orders / Judgements
Summary The court DROPPED criminal proceedings against the accused for liquor consumption under Section 66(1)(b) of the Gujarat Prohibition Act, 1949. The court found that the 2017 Amendment deleted the cognizable classification, making the offence non-cognizable (max punishment under 3 years). Since the investigating officer failed to obtain mandatory prior Magistrate's permission 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.
