    Case Summary Court Decision: The court acquitted the accused under the Gujarat Prohibition Act, 1949, Section 65, finding that the prosecution failed to establish a prima facie case of illegal possession of country-made liquor. The court held that while contraband was recovered from the accused's residence without proper authorization, the panchanama (witness record) lacked credibility as the witnesses did not verify the evidence, and the police investigation was procedurally deficient, making the case legally insufficient to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
