    Case Summary: Criminal Case 1071/2025 Court Decision: The accused, Kuvarben W/O Chandubhai Bhikhabhai Jakhaniya, was acquitted of charges under Section 65(A)(A) of the Gujarat Prohibition Act for illegal possession of 4 liters of liquor valued at ₹800 without proper permit on June 10, 2025. Key Reasoning: The court found that the prosecution failed to establish its case beyond reasonable doubt. The sole witness (panchnama witness) merely confirmed signing the document but provided no substantive support for the prosecution's allegations. Additionally, the police informant's testimony was not recorded, and without independent corroborating evidence, the court could not definitively prove that the seized material was prohibited under the Act. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
