Government of Gujarat vs BHARATBHAI DALSINGBHAI MACHHAR — 4736/2025

The court convicted the accused, Bhartbhai Dalsing Macchar, under the Gujarat Prohibition Act for illegally possessing alcohol without a valid permit, and accepted his voluntary guilty plea. Considering the accused's poor financial circumstances, first-time offense status, and being the sole earner for his family, the court imposed a reduced sentence of imprisonment up to 15 days and a fine of ₹200, departing from the minimum prescribed punishment under law based on special circumstances and mitigating factors.
