JUDEGEMENT

The court acquitted the accused Dhirajlal (alias Gabbar) of charges under Gujarat Excise Act Section 12(a) due to insufficient evidence and lack of corroboration from independent witnesses. The prosecution failed to establish the guilt beyond reasonable doubt as the police panchnama (formal record) lacked credibility, and the seized liquor could have been commonly available in the market, making the case against the accused untenable. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
