    Summary The Gujarat High Court modified the sentence of an accused convicted under Section 65AA of the Gujarat Prohibition Act, reducing the punishment from three months imprisonment and ₹200 fine to a fine of ₹250 only. The court held that since the accused had voluntarily pleaded guilty and presented genuine extenuating circumstances (being from a poor background, sole family earner, and first-time offender with no likelihood of recurrence), the lower court's failure to consider these factors warranted sentence reduction in the interest of justice.
