    Case Summary: Criminal Case No. 1035/2025 The court acquitted the accused, Kuvarben (also known as Kuvedi), of charges under Gujarat Prohibition Act Section 65A(A) for unlawful possession of alcohol. The prosecution failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt, as the sole witness (a panch/mediator) only confirmed signing the seizure memo but could not substantiate the recovery or substantiate that the contraband was actually prohibited under law. The court found the prosecution's evidence insufficient and contradictory, with no independent corroborating witnesses or police testimony, rendering reasonable doubt about whether the confiscated material was genuinely a prohibited substance. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
