Govt. of Gujarat vs NATHUBHAI ARSHIBHAI VAJA Advocate - B K BARAD — 1105/2025

Summary The Sutrapar Primary Judicial Court acquitted defendant Nathubhai Arsibhai Raja of charges under the Gujarat Prohibition Act, Section 65(a), finding insufficient evidence despite the seizure of 35 plastic bags of illegal country liquor valued at ₹1,000. The court determined that the prosecution failed to establish the case beyond reasonable doubt, noting critical gaps including lack of technical expert evidence (FSL report), absence of independent witness corroboration, and procedural irregularities in the seizure process that rendered the investigation suspect.
