GOVERNMENT OF GUJARAT @ THE STATE vs DHIRAJBA SULTANJI VAGELA Advocate - K N GAGIYA — 1342/2023

Judegement

The court acquitted the accused Dhirajba Sultanji Vagela of charges under the Prohibition Act Section 61F, finding that the prosecution failed to prove the case beyond reasonable doubt. The court noted critical evidentiary gaps: the panch witnesses did not corroborate the FIR details, independent corroboration was lacking, and there were inconsistencies in the police testimony during cross-examination regarding vehicle details and witness identification. Applying established legal principles requiring independent corroboration when panchas are present in searches, the court granted the accused the benefit of doubt and ordered her acquittal while directing disposal of the seized alcohol after appeal period as per regulations. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
