Judegement
Summary The Kadi Chief Judicial Magistrate's court acquitted the accused Zala Karan Zala Karansinh under the Prohibition Act Section 65E, finding that the prosecution failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt. The court held that while contraband liquor and a vehicle were seized, the prosecution lacked sufficient corroborating evidence—including independent witness statements, FSL testing to confirm the seized items were foreign liquor and beer, and proof of the vehicle's ownership—to establish the accused's possession and guilt. Consequently, the accused was discharged and granted the benefit of reasonable doubt. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
