SOYAB UMARBHAI JAM vs THE STATE OF GUJARAT Advocate - AGP — 278/2026

Summary The Additional Sessions Judge, Morbi, rejected the bail application of Soyab Umarbhai Jam, who was accused of illegal possession and transportation of 4,944 bottles of prohibited liquor worth Rs. 8,10,480 under the Prohibition Act. The court found sufficient prima facie evidence of the applicant's active involvement in the offense and held that the seriousness of the violation of prohibition laws and the large quantity of contraband recovered outweighed mitigating factors like his clean record and family dependence, ruling that mere filing of the chargesheet alone cannot warrant bail.
