Final Orders / Judgements
Court Summary The court declined to take cognizance of the case against Dharmeshbhai Mavsingbhai Baria under Section 66(1)(B) of the Gujarat Prohibition Act for liquor consumption. The court held that following the 2017 amendment which repealed Section 118 of the Prohibition Act, offences under Section 66(1)(B) are now classified as non-cognizable offences. Since the first-time liquor consumption offense carries a maximum punishment of only six months imprisonment, it falls under Schedule I, Part II of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, requiring prior magistrate permission under Section 174(2), which was not obtained. Consequently, the proceedings were dropped with liberty to the prosecution to take appropriate steps. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
