Case Summary: 63/2026 Court: Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Lalpur Judgment Date: 07 May 2026 The court acquitted the accused Jalan Ravedebhai Godani of charges under the Prohibition Act, Section 65(A)(A), finding that the prosecution failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt. The court noted critical deficiencies in the prosecution's evidence: witnesses' testimonies contained inconsistencies, independent panchas (witnesses) were not properly identified in the FIR despite being present, no independent corroboration existed, and no official report on the seized liquor was produced. Applying the principle that the benefit of doubt must favor the accused, the court discharged the defendant and ordered continued bail for six months.
