    Judegement

    Case Summary: Criminal Case No. 1180/2022 The court acquitted three accused persons charged under the Gujarat Prohibition Act for illegal possession and sale of English liquor. The prosecution failed to establish its case beyond reasonable doubt as key witnesses (panchas) were not properly examined, the chain of custody of seized materials was not adequately proven, and critical procedural requirements were not met. The court found that prosecution evidence lacked corroboration from independent witnesses and was solely dependent on police testimony, insufficient to secure conviction under the stringent legal standards required.
