Govt. of Gujarat vs RANJANBEN URFE SAJJAN W O PRAKASHABHAI MANAJIBHAI CHADAMIYA Advocate - M R RATHOD — 1176/2025

Summary The Sutrapad First Class Judicial Magistrate Court acquitted defendant Ranjanbhen (alias Sajjan) of charges under the Gujarat Prohibition Act, Sections 61(a) and 61(f), finding insufficient evidence. The court determined that the prosecution failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt, particularly noting that the panchas (witnesses) did not adequately support the seizure of prohibited liquor from the accused's possession, and proper procedure and corroboration were absent. The accused was acquitted and released, benefiting from the principle of benefit of doubt in criminal jurisprudence.
