Final Orders / Judgements
The court acquitted the accused, Bharatbhai Karabhai Mandera, of charges under the Prohibition Act Section 65(E), finding that the prosecution failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt. The judgment notes critical evidentual weaknesses: the panchnama (seizure document) lacked independent corroboration from neutral witnesses, no FSL report verified the recovered material was illicit liquor, and the investigation contained procedural irregularities including lack of independent witness statements and unclear chain of custody documentation. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
