Court Decision Summary The Sutrapar Magistrate Court acquitted Rekhaben (accused) of charges under the Gujarat Prohibition Act, Section 65(A), finding insufficient evidence to prove the case beyond reasonable doubt. The court noted critical gaps in the prosecution's evidence, including lack of proper witness corroboration, absence of independent panch witnesses who could substantiate the seizure, and failure to establish the quality and quantity of the confiscated alcohol. Applying established legal principles on the benefit of doubt in criminal jurisprudence, the court discharged the accused.
