JUDEGEMENT

Case Summary: Government of Gujarat v. Hiraben (Case 1033/2025) The court acquitted the accused, Hiraben w/o Gagjibhai Jakhaniya, of charges under the Gujarat Prohibition Act Section 65(a)(a) for alleged illegal possession of 2 liters of liquor worth ₹400 without proper permit. The court found that the prosecution failed to establish its case beyond reasonable doubt, as the sole witness (panchnama witness) could not substantiate the charges and merely testified to signing the panchnama without knowledge of its contents. The court concluded that absent credible independent corroboration and given critical gaps in the prosecution's evidence, the accused was entitled to acquittal. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
