    Case Summary The Gujarat High Court modified the sentence of the accused (convicted under Gujarat Prohibition Act, Section 65AA) from imprisonment to a fine of Rs. 200 with 7 days imprisonment in default, considering mitigating circumstances such as the accused being a first-time offender from a poor background with family responsibilities. The court held that special and adequate reasons are not required to impose minimum imprisonment, and sentence reduction is justified in the interest of justice based on extenuating circumstances not previously considered by the trial court.
