    Court Decision Summary The court acquitted the accused of charges under Gujarat Prohibition Act, 1949 Section 65 for illegal possession of liquor (country-made alcohol, LI-03, 600ml bottle) without proper permission. The court found insufficient and contradictory evidence from the five panch witnesses—all police employees—whose testimonies were unreliable and failed to meet legal standards for corroboration, as the panch members denied knowledge of the proceedings and the investigating officer provided no credible documentary evidence supporting the alleged recovery. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
