JudegementView PDF

CASE SUMMARY: C.C. No. 31/2026 The Jodiya Judicial Magistrate Court acquitted the accused Ibrahimbhai Urfe Abhu Sidikbhai Paleja of charges under Gujarat Prohibition (Amendment) Act, Section 65 AA for alleged possession of 2 liters of illicit liquor worth Rs. 400 on 30/10/2025. The court found that the prosecution failed to conclusively prove the case beyond reasonable doubt due to insufficient corroborating evidence, lack of independent witnesses, absence of FSL reports confirming the seized substance was alcohol, and inconsistencies in witness testimonies. Applying the principle that benefit of doubt must be given to the accused, the court ordered the accused's acquittal and destruction of seized contraband. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
