    Case Summary: Criminal Case 188/2026 Court Decision: The accused Jiluben W/O Nanjibhai Vaghela was acquitted of charges under Section 65(A)(A) of the Gujarat Prohibition Act. The court found insufficient evidence to prove that prohibited liquor was recovered from the accused's possession on 25/07/2025. Key Reasoning: The prosecution relied solely on one panch (witness) whose testimony merely confirmed he signed the seizure memo but provided no substantive evidence supporting the case. The court noted the absence of independent corroborating witnesses and police testimony, creating doubt about whether the seized material was actually prohibited contraband under the prohibition law. Applying established criminal law principles regarding burden of proof and witness credibility, the court determined the prosecution failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
