    Order

    SUMMARY: The court convicted the accused under the Gujarat Prohibition Act for illegal possession of liquor without a permit. The accused pleaded guilty, and the court accepted the confession as voluntary. Considering the accused's first-time offense, poor economic circumstances, and family dependence, the court imposed a lenient sentence of Rs. 200/- fine and 5 days imprisonment under Section 264 IPC, along with a fine of Rs. 2000/- in lieu of additional imprisonment, citing special and reasonable grounds to impose less than the minimum statutory punishment.
