    The court convicted the accused Labhubai Rajubai Kuriya under Section 54(1) of the Bombay Prohibition Act for illegally possessing and consuming liquor, and sentenced her to imprisonment up to court's discretion plus a fine of Rs. 200, with 10 days additional imprisonment if fine is not paid. Considering the accused's poor economic status, first-time offense, and voluntary confession, the court exercised judicial discretion to impose a lenient sentence rather than the statutory minimum, following precedent that courts can award lighter punishment in common offenses when justified by special circumstances.
