    Case Summary: C.C. No. 112/2026 The court acquitted defendant Vishalbhai Maheshbhai Farukiya of charges under the Gujarat Prohibition (Amendment) Act, Section 65 A.A., finding the prosecution failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt. The court identified critical deficiencies in the prosecution's evidence, including witnesses failing to corroborate the recovery of illicit liquor, absence of independent witnesses, lack of FSL (Forensic Science Laboratory) report on seized material, and contradictions in the investigating officer's testimony, applying the principle that the benefit of doubt must favor the accused.
