Judegement
Case Summary: CC 1095/2023 Court Decision: The court acquitted all three defendants (Lalabhai Kodarbhai Rathod, Vikrambhai Mohanbhai Parmar, and Shanabhai Nanabhai Parmar) of charges under the Gujarat Prohibition Act. The prosecution failed to prove the case beyond reasonable doubt, as witnesses contradicted key evidence and the origin/authenticity of seized liquor bottles could not be established. Key Reasoning: The court found insufficient evidence that the seized alcohol was genuinely branded bottles and that the contraband was in the defendants' possession. Panchs (witnesses) did not support the prosecution's narrative, and critical procedural gaps existed in the investigation regarding verification of the bottles' authenticity with the manufacturer.
