ORDER

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. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
