Govt. of Gujarat vs jiviben w o mandabhai palabhai solanki Advocate - V D KAMLIYA — 1166/2025

Summary The Sutrapur Judicial Magistrate (First Class) Court acquitted the accused, Jiviben (daughter of Mandabhai Palabhai Solanki), of charges under the Gujarat Prohibition Act Section 65(A) for allegedly possessing 2 liters of illegal alcohol on October 16, 2015. The court found reasonable doubts in the prosecution's case, particularly noting that the panch witnesses (mandatory witnesses) did not adequately corroborate the seizure details, proper technical evidence was absent, and the investigation appeared flawed, making it impossible to prove the charges beyond reasonable doubt. The accused was acquitted and released, with seized contraband to be destroyed after appeal periods expire. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
