Summary The Sutrapad Judicial Magistrate First Class acquitted the defendant Ratnaben in a case under the Gujarat Prohibition Act Section 65(A). The court found that despite the prosecution's allegation of illegal alcohol possession, the panchas (witnesses) did not properly corroborate the seizure, and crucial evidence from FSL reports and proper witness testimony was absent. Applying precedents emphasizing the need for conviction beyond reasonable doubt, the court granted the benefit of doubt to the accused and acquitted her, ordering release of seized contraband as per law.
