Final Orders / Judgements
Case Summary: 160/2026 The court convicted Mahendrabhai Punambhai Chunara under Section 65 of the Prohibition Act for possessing 4 liters of liquor valued at ₹800 seized during a police check. The defendant pleaded guilty and sought lenient sentencing, citing his status as a poor laborer supporting his family. The court, considering the defendant's first-time offense, impoverished background, and voluntary confession, imposed a reduced sentence of simple imprisonment up to the period already served and a fine of ₹200, rather than the statutory maximum punishment, balancing justice with humanitarian considerations. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
