    Summary of Case 109/2026 The court acquitted the accused, Osamangani Jusubbhai Gadh, of charges under Section 65 AA of the Gujarat Prohibition (Amendment) Act, finding that the prosecution failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt. The court identified critical deficiencies in the investigation: witnesses did not corroborate the panchnama (formal record), no independent witnesses were examined, FSL reports were absent, and the investigative officer's testimony contained contradictions. Applying the principle of benefit of doubt under BNS Section 104, the court held that the prosecution bore the burden of proof and failed to discharge it conclusively, warranting the accused's acquittal and release on existing bail. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
