Government of Gujarat vs SURESHBHAI DHIRABHAI PARMAR Advocate - H S SAVANSHAH — 1447/2025

Case Summary: Criminal Case 1447/2025 Court Decision: The Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Kapadvanj, convicted Sureshbhai Dhirabhai Parmar under Gujarat Prohibition Act Section 66.1.B (public consumption of alcohol) and sentenced him to a fine of Rs. 100 with imprisonment until court rising, or 3 days simple imprisonment in default of fine payment. The conviction under Section 85(1) was discharged due to insufficient evidence. Key Reasoning: The accused confessed to the crime in court, and considering the facts, circumstances, and the mitigating factors (accused being poor with family responsibilities), the court imposed a lenient sentence rather than rigorous imprisonment, citing the precedent established in *State of Gujarat v. Natwarlal Harchandlal Thakkar*. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
