    Case Summary: Criminal Case 1047/2025 Court Decision: The Judicial Magistrate First Class, Dholka, acquitted the accused Salmaben (wife of Rafikbhai Makavana) of charges under Gujarat Prohibition Act Section 65(a)(a) for alleged illegal possession of 2 liters of alcohol valued at ₹400 without proper permit. Key Reasoning: The court found that the prosecution failed to establish its case beyond reasonable doubt. The sole witness (a panchnama signatory) provided no credible corroboration of the case; the police witnesses were not examined; and considering the absence of independent evidence and procedural gaps, the court concluded the prosecution could not prove that the seized material was actually prohibited liquor or that it was recovered from the accused's possession as alleged. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
