    Summary The Sutrapad Judicial Magistrate First Class acquitted accused Ashokbhai Kanabhai Chohaan of charges under the Gujarat Prohibition Act, Section 65(F), finding the prosecution failed to conclusively prove the case beyond reasonable doubt. The court held that despite seizure of illicit liquor, the prosecution's witnesses (panchas) did not adequately corroborate the evidence, and critical procedural gaps undermined the investigation's credibility, warranting the benefit of doubt to the accused. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
