Final Orders / Judgements
Court Summary The Devgadh Baria Magistrate Court dismissed proceedings against Rajubhai Bhikhabhai Nayak under Section 66(1)(B) of the Gujarat Prohibition Act, holding that the offense is now non-cognizable following the 2017 amendment that repealed Section 118. The court reasoned that since the maximum punishment for a first-time liquor consumption offense is only six months imprisonment, it falls under Schedule I, Part II of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita 2023, classifying it as non-cognizable and requiring prior magistrate permission before cognizance can be taken. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
