Government of Gujarat vs HARESHBHAI RAVJIBHAI VAGHELA Advocate - N B CHAVDA — 1068/2025

Case Summary: Criminal Case 1068/2025 Court Decision: The accused, Hareshbhai Ravjibhai Vaghela, was acquitted of charges under the Gujarat Prohibition Act, Section 65(A)(A). The court found insufficient evidence to prove the prosecution's case beyond reasonable doubt. Key Reasoning: Although contraband liquor (4 liters valued at ₹800) was allegedly recovered from the accused's possession on July 1, 2025, the prosecution failed to establish its case reliably. The only witness (Panch Farukbhai Rajkabhai Dosani) merely confirmed signing the seizure panchnama but provided no substantive testimony supporting the charges. The court noted the absence of independent police witnesses and cited precedent that witness credibility and evidence quality—not mere quantity—determines guilt. Given these gaps, the court held the prosecution failed to prove the case and ordered the accused's acquittal with bail conditions.
