    Order

    The court convicted the accused Ankitbhai Sagubhai Meda under sections 5(A) and 5(A) of the Gujarat Prohibition Act for illegal possession of liquor without a valid permit. Considering the accused's voluntary guilty plea, impoverished circumstances, and status as the sole earning member with dependents, the court imposed a lenient sentence of simple imprisonment for 5 days and a fine of Rs. 200, rather than the statutory minimum punishment, citing reasonable and special grounds for mitigation. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
