Government of Gujarat vs SUNILBHAI URFE SUNIYABHAI CHHAGANBHAI MUHANIYA Advocate - P K DEVAL — 106/2026

Judegement

Case Summary: CC No. 106/2026 Decision: The court acquitted the defendant under the Gujarat Prohibition Act, Sections 65(I) and 116(B), finding the prosecution failed to prove conscious possession of foreign liquor beyond reasonable doubt. Key Reasoning: The court determined that: (1) actual physical possession of the seized liquor by the accused was not established on record; (2) the two independent panch witnesses did not corroborate the prosecution's case; (3) proper sealing procedures were not followed; and (4) the investigating officer's entire procedure appeared tainted, preventing any conviction based on that investigation. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
