The court convicted the accused Firojbhai Abdulbhai Alim Shekh under Section 65 of the Gujarat Prohibition Act for possessing liquor and sentenced him to imprisonment until acquittal plus a fine of Rs. 500, with alternative imprisonment of 2 days in default. Considering the accused's poor economic condition, illiteracy, and family circumstances, the court reduced the sentence below the statutory minimum prescribed under the Act, following the precedent established in the 2005 case of Gujarat State v. Natvarchand Harchand Thakore. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
