    Case Summary: C.C. No. 37/2026 The court acquitted the defendant Savjibhai Sivabhai Soygama of charges under Gujarat Prohibition (Amendment) Act, Section 65 AA for alleged illegal possession of 1 liter of country liquor worth Rs. 200. The court found the prosecution failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt due to significant evidentiary gaps: independent witnesses were not recorded despite availability, panchanama (seizure record) lacked proper corroboration, FSL report on the seized substance was absent, and the investigator's testimony contained contradictions regarding direct possession. Applying the benefit of doubt principle, the court held the prosecution did not discharge its burden of proof and acquitted the accused.
