Government of Gujarat vs JAKHSIBHAI CHHAGANBHAI JAKHANIYA Advocate - A P LALKIYA — 1182/2025

Case Summary: 1182/2025 Court Decision: The accused, Jakhsibhai Chhaganbhai Jakhaniya, was acquitted of charges under the Prohibition Act Section 65(A)(A) due to insufficient evidence. While police testimony corroborated the recovery of 4 liters of illicit liquor from the accused's residence on July 15, 2025, the prosecution failed to establish this through independent corroborating witnesses—the panchs (independent observers) provided no substantive testimony beyond confirming their signatures on the panchnama (seizure document). The court found that without independent verification supporting the recovery claim, the factual allegations could not be proven beyond reasonable doubt, and therefore acquitted the accused.
