THE STATE OF GUJARAT vs RIYAZBHAI HUSHENBHAI MAKAVANA Advocate - R F CHAUHAN — 530/2024

Case Summary: Criminal Case No. P30/2024 Court Decision: The Judicial Magistrate First Class, Talala, acquitted all three accused (Riyazbhai Hushenbhai Makavana, Rajabbhai Ukabhai Bhaliya, and Umarbhai Jummabhai Khokhar) of charges under the Prohibition Act, finding insufficient evidence to prove the case beyond reasonable doubt. The court noted critical procedural lapses including lack of independent witness corroboration, absence of proper FSL evidence regarding seizure quality/quantity, failure to recover contraband directly from the accused, and procedural irregularities in the investigation that rendered the prosecution case unconvincing.
