Govt. of Gujarat vs imtiyajbhai yusufbhai malek Advocate - V D KAMLIYA — 1116/2025

The Sutrapad First Class Judicial Magistrate Court acquitted the accused Imtiyazbhai (alias Ramo) of charges under the Gujarat Prohibition Act and BNS Code, finding insufficient evidence despite recovered contraband alcohol and a motorcycle with forged number plates. The court noted critical gaps in witness testimony, lack of technical expert evidence, and failure to establish a direct link between the prohibited articles and the accused, citing precedent that conviction cannot rest on procedural formality alone.
