JudegementView PDF

Case Summary: 789/2025 Court Decision: The accused, Rekhaben W/O Babaubhai Nathubhai Khasiya, was acquitted of charges under the Prohibition Act Section 65F for alleged illegal liquor possession. The court found that the prosecution failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt, primarily due to insufficient corroborating evidence and credibility issues with witness testimonies. Key Reasoning: The court noted that panchanama (seizure record) witnesses provided contradictory statements and the investigating officer's testimony alone could not establish the authenticity of the seized contraband. Critical gaps in independent corroboration rendered the prosecution's case doubtful, necessitating acquittal based on the principle that benefit of doubt must favor the accused. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
