    Summary The court acquitted the accused under Section 65 of the Gujarat Prohibition Act, 1949, finding insufficient evidence that the accused possessed country liquor without a valid permit at their residence. The court determined that the prosecution failed to establish a credible case, as the sole witness (a police witness) could not be corroborated and critical procedural requirements regarding witness examination were not properly fulfilled, making the conviction unreliable. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
