Final Orders / Judgements
Summary The Gujarat High Court modified the sentence of an accused convicted under Gujarat Prohibition Act Section 65AA (illegal liquor possession) from rigorous imprisonment to a fine of ₹200, considering extenuating circumstances such as the accused's poverty, family dependence, and first-time offense. The court held that special and adequate reasons must be recorded when imposing minimum sentences, and in the interest of justice, the sentence was reduced based on the precedent established in State of Gujarat v. Natwar Harchandji Thakor (2005). This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
