    The Gujarat High Court reduced the sentence of the accused convicted under Section 65AA of the Gujarat Prohibition Act, modifying the three-month minimum imprisonment to a fine of Rs. 200 (or Rs. 250 in default), considering the mitigating circumstances and the accused's first-time offense and promise of reformation that were not considered in the original judgment. The court held that courts can impose lighter sentences when special and adequate reasons justify deviation from mandatory minimum sentences, particularly in cases involving personal circumstances and rehabilitation potential.
