Final Orders / Judgements
Case Summary The court discharged the accused and dropped criminal proceedings under Section 66(1)(b) of the Gujarat Prohibition Act, 1949 (liquor consumption) because the investigating officer conducted the investigation without prior magistrate's permission, which is mandatory for non-cognizable offenses. The 2017 Amendment deleted Section 118, reclassifying the offense as non-cognizable (maximum punishment under 3 years), making the warrantless investigation illegal under CrPC Section 155(2) and BNSS Section 174(2), following *Keshav Lal Thakur v. State of Bihar*. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
