    Case Summary: CC No. 4864-2025 Court Decision: The court acquitted Kantibhai Merubhai Zala of charges under IPC Section 65 B, C, D, F (illicit liquor manufacturing and sale), finding insufficient evidence. The prosecution failed to establish its case through independent witness corroboration and credible documentary evidence. Key Reasoning: While the accused's home was searched and contraband allegedly recovered (Indian liquor valued ₹4,200), the prosecution's five witnesses provided no substantial supporting testimony. The court found the prosecution's evidence weak and unable to meet criminal standards of proof beyond reasonable doubt. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
