    Judegement

    Case Summary Court Decision: The court acquitted the accused under Section 271 of the Indian Penal Code, 2023, and Section 65 of the Gujarat Prohibition Act, 1949, finding that the prosecution failed to establish its case beyond reasonable doubt. The court determined that despite recovery of country liquor from the accused's residence during a police raid, the evidence was insufficient due to lack of proper witness testimony and procedural deficiencies in the investigation, particularly regarding the mandatory presence of independent witnesses during the search and seizure operation. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
