Summary The Court of Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Nakhatrana-Kutch acquitted two defendants (Mehendra Kaya Buchiya and Naanji Kaya Buchiya) charged under the Gambling Act, Section 12, finding that the prosecution failed to conclusively prove the gambling charges beyond reasonable doubt. While the court acknowledged evidence of seized cash and mobile phones totaling ₹1,66,500, it determined that the corroborating witness testimony from panchas (independent witnesses) was insufficient to establish the case, as the panchas did not substantively support the prosecution's narrative.
