Govt. of Gujarat vs dhaniben w o bhaveshbhai vaghela Advocate - V D KAMLIYA — 1181/2025

Summary The Sutrapad Judicial Magistrate First Class court acquitted the accused Dhaniben under Section 67(AA) of the Gujarat Prohibition Act. The court found that the prosecution failed to establish its case beyond reasonable doubt, as the panch witnesses did not corroborate the seizure of prohibited alcohol from the accused's possession, and insufficient evidence linked the contraband directly to the accused. Applying Supreme Court precedent emphasizing the benefit of doubt in criminal jurisprudence, the court ruled there was no prospect of conviction and discharged the accused.
