    The court acquitted the accused Gobarbhai Bharabhai Jakhaniya of charges under the Gujarat Prohibition Act Section 65(A)(A) for allegedly possessing 3 liters of illegal liquor worth Rs. 600. The court found that the prosecution failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt, citing inadequate witness testimony (only a panch witness who merely confirmed signing the memo without substantive evidence) and the absence of independent police witnesses. The court determined that the circumstantial evidence was insufficient to establish the prohibited material was actually recovered from the accused's possession. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
