    The court acquitted defendant Karnabhai Chanabhai Muchhar of charges under the Prohibition Act, Section 65(A)(A), finding that the prosecution failed to establish the case beyond reasonable doubt. Although police witnesses testified to recovering prohibited alcohol from the defendant's premises during a raid, the independent witnesses (panchas) who were present during the recovery could not substantiate the seizure details, and no FSL report was produced to confirm the seized material was prohibited liquor, creating insufficient corroboration for conviction.
