Government of Gujarat vs RAJBHAI URFE JIGLO BHIMJIBHAI ADRESHA — 8821/2025

The Gujarat High Court convicted the accused under Section 65AA of the Gujarat Prohibition Act for possessing illicit liquor without a permit, but reduced the sentence considering extenuating circumstances such as the accused's poor economic status, family responsibilities, and it being a first offense. The court imposed a sentence of imprisonment until the disposal of the appeal plus a fine of ₹250, with seven days simple imprisonment as default punishment, following the principle that special and adequate reasons need not be recorded for imposing lesser sentences when circumstances of justice warrant it.
