    Judegement

    Case Summary: Government of Gujarat v. Dinesh Gulabshand Bherulal Trivedi (2564/2018) The court acquitted the accused of charges under the Gujarat Prohibition Act. Foreign liquor bottles were seized from a bus, but the prosecution failed to establish their authenticity or the accused's possession beyond reasonable doubt. Critically, the panchayat seals on bottles lacked proper signatures, and witness testimony contradicted the prosecution's case. The court held that the statutory presumption under Section 116B cannot be invoked when seal evidence is defective and uncorroborated by credible witness testimony. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
