Government of Gujarat vs REKHABEN NITESHBHAI LADHUBHAI VAGHELA Advocate - K G CHAVDA — 1037/2025

Case Summary: 1037/2025 Court Decision: The Judicial Magistrate First Class, Droll, acquitted defendant Rekhaben Niteshbhai Ladhubhai Vaghela of charges under Gujarat Prohibition Act Section 65A(A). The court found insufficient evidence to prove the case beyond reasonable doubt, noting that the sole witness (panch/concerned person) merely confirmed signing the seizure document but provided no substantive corroboration of the allegations, and no independent police witness testimony was presented. Key Reasoning: The prosecution failed to establish its case adequately. While prohibited liquor (3 liters worth ₹600) was allegedly seized from the accused on 06/02/2025, the court found the evidence lacked the required quality and reliability, particularly the absence of credible independent witnesses and police testimony, making conviction impossible under criminal procedure standards.
