    Summary The Sutrapur Judicial Magistrate First Class acquitted the accused, Ravibhai Karshnbhai Waja, of charges under the Gujarat Prohibition Act, Section 65(A), citing insufficient evidence and lack of corroboration from the mandatory witnesses (panchas). The court found that the prosecution failed to establish a convincing case linking the prohibited alcohol to the accused's possession, as the panch witnesses did not support the seizure procedure, and technical evidence was absent. Relying on Supreme Court precedent, the court gave the accused the benefit of doubt under criminal jurisprudence principles and acquitted him accordingly. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
