Govt. of Gujarat vs kanabhai krasanbhai parmar Advocate - M R RATHOD — 1163/2025

Case Summary The court acquitted the accused, Kanabhai Krishnabhai Parmar, of charges under the Gujarat Prohibition Act Section 65(a) for alleged illegal possession of alcohol. The judgment found that the prosecution failed to establish its case beyond reasonable doubt, citing insufficient credible witness testimony (panchas were police officers rather than independent witnesses), lack of technical/FSL evidence confirming the seized material, and failure to establish a clear link between the prohibited articles and the accused. The court invoked the benefit of doubt principle and discharged the accused accordingly. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
