GOVERNMENT OF GUJARAT vs THAKOR ISHVARJI MERAJI — 298/2026

The Judicial Magistrate First Class, Unjha, convicted the accused under the Prohibition Act Section 65(A)(A) for illegal possession of domestic liquor (less than 20 liters). The accused pleaded guilty and expressed remorse; considering his poor economic background and relying on a Gujarat High Court precedent, the court imposed a lenient sentence of Rs. 200 fine and imprisonment until court rising, with an alternative of one day simple imprisonment if the fine is not paid, and ordered destruction of the seized contraband.
