    Case Summary: C.C.No.66/2026 Court Decision: The accused Farukbhai Isahkbhai Khichadi is acquitted of charges under the Gujarat Prohibition (Amendment) Act, Section 65 A.A. due to insufficient evidence. Key Reasoning: The court found critical deficiencies in the prosecution's case: the panchnama (official record) lacked corroboration from independent witnesses, FSL reports on the alleged liquor sample were not produced, the seizure procedure had gaps, and key prosecution witnesses failed to substantively support the complainant's allegations. Applying the principle that if doubt exists, the benefit goes to the accused, the court held the prosecution failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt and acquitted the defendant on grounds of insufficient evidence.
