    Summary The Gujarat High Court modified the sentence of the accused Surajbhai Bhurabhia under the Gujarat Prohibition Act, Section 65AA, from imprisonment to a fine of ₹250 with 7 days' simple imprisonment in default, considering extenuating circumstances such as his poor background, family responsibilities, and first-time offense. The court held that special and adequate reasons are not required to impose lesser punishment when extenuating circumstances are established, citing the precedent in State of Gujarat v. Natwar Harchandji Thakor (2005). This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
