    Summary The Sutrapur Judicial Magistrate Court acquitted accused Punabhai Bhimabhai Chudasama of charges under the Gujarat Prohibition Act, Section 65(A), finding insufficient evidence to establish the case beyond reasonable doubt. The court held that witness panchas failed to corroborate the prosecution's case, there was no technical expert evidence (FSL) confirming the seized contraband liquor's quality and quantity, and the seizure procedure was procedurally defective, warranting the benefit of doubt in favor of the accused. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
