Govt. of Gujarat vs LAKHIBEN W/O LAKHAMANBHAI RAMSHIBHAI VAJA Advocate - V D KAMLIYA — 1182/2025

Summary of Court Decision The court acquitted the accused Lakhiben of charges under the Gujarat Prohibition Act, Section 65(A), finding her not guilty beyond reasonable doubt. The prosecution failed to establish the case conclusively through witness testimony—particularly the panch (witness) statements were not corroborated and the investigation procedure was questionable. The court found insufficient evidence linking the prohibited alcohol directly to the accused's possession and emphasized that benefit of doubt must favor the accused in criminal jurisprudence.
