    Summary of Criminal Case 180/2026 Court Decision: The Judicial Magistrate First Class, Dholka acquitted defendant Madhuben W/O Vejalbhai Huriya of charges under Gujarat Prohibition Act Section 65P(A)(A) for alleged illegal possession of 3 liters of liquor without permit. The court found insufficient evidence—the panchnama (seizure record) witness provided no credible corroboration, no independent witnesses testified, and the prosecution failed to establish the case beyond reasonable doubt. Key Reasoning: The court noted critical evidentiary gaps: the lone panch witness merely confirmed signing the document but offered no substantive testimony supporting the prosecution's allegations. Applying established criminal law principles regarding burden of proof and witness credibility, the magistrate concluded the prosecution failed to prove its case, resulting in acquittal with bail conditions imposed. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
