JUDEGEMENT

Case Summary: State of Gujarat v. Somabhai Maganbhai Zala (61/2026) The court convicted Somabhai Maganbhai Zala under Section 65 of the Prohibition Act for possessing 6 liters of illicit country liquor valued at ₹1,200. Considering the accused's plea of guilt, his status as a poor laborer supporting his family, and that this was his first offense, the court imposed a lenient sentence of imprisonment already undergone plus a fine of ₹200 (instead of the statutory maximum), rather than imposing the harsher prescribed punishment. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
