Government of Gujarat vs SANJAYBHAI NANJIBHAI BHABHOR Advocate - R B MOHANIYA — 513/2026

Judegement

Summary of Criminal Case P13/2026 The court acquitted Sanjaybhai Nanjibhai Bhabhor of charges under the Gujarat Prohibition Act (Sections 65-I, 98(2), 116(B)) for alleged illegal possession of 118 bottles of English whisky and Royal Stag whisky worth ₹90,192 seized from his vehicle. The court found that the prosecution failed to establish its case beyond reasonable doubt, citing insufficient corroboration from independent witnesses, lack of technical FSL evidence confirming the seized liquor's quality/quantity, and credibility issues with the investigation procedure. The court applied the "benefit of doubt" principle, acquitting the accused and ordering the seized contraband destroyed after appeal period. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
