    Case Summary: C.C. No. 114/2026 The Jodiya First Class Judicial Magistrate Court acquitted the defendant Kulsumben (alias Havaben) of charges under Gujarat Prohibition Act, Section 65 AA for illegal possession of 4 liters of country liquor valued at Rs. 800. The court found that the prosecution failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt due to critical deficiencies: witnesses (panchas) did not corroborate the seizure panchnama, no independent witnesses were examined despite public location, FSL report on the seized substance was not produced, and the investigating officer's testimony contained contradictions regarding direct possession. Applying the benefit of doubt principle, the court discharged the accused. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
