Government of Gujarat vs JAYSHREEBEN W/O. BHIKHUBHAI BHADRECHA Advocate - K J PARMAR — 520/2024

Judegement

Case Summary In Criminal Case No. 520/2024, the JMFC Mangrol acquitted the accused Jayshreeben (wife of Bhikhuabhai Badreecha) of charges under the Gujarat Prohibition Act, 1949, Section 65(F)(I) for illegal liquor manufacturing. The court found that the prosecution failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt, primarily because the panch (mandatory witnesses) did not corroborate the seizure of illicit liquor from the accused's residence, and the police evidence alone was insufficient without independent corroboration. The court applied established legal principles requiring panch witness support for search operations and granted the accused benefit of doubt, ordering her acquittal with bail continued until appeal period expires. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
