    Case Summary: Criminal Case 179/2026 Court Decision: The Judicial Magistrate First Class, Dholka acquitted accused Niteshbhai Ladhubhai Vaghela of charges under Gujarat Prohibition Act Section 65(a)(a) due to insufficient evidence. The prosecution failed to establish its case beyond reasonable doubt, as the sole panchnama witness provided no substantive support for the allegation, and no independent police witnesses testified. Key Reasoning: The court found that the complainant's case lacked credibility through proper evidence. The panchnama (official record) witness merely confirmed signing the document without providing details supporting the charge that prohibited liquor was recovered from the accused's possession on June 8, 2025. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
