THE STATE OF GUJARAT vs KUSUMBEN W/O GOVINDBHAI VASANTBHAI VASAVA Advocate - G N VASAVA — 1184/2025

The court acquitted the accused, Kusumbben Govindbhai Vasava, of charges under Section 65AA of the Gujarat Prohibition Act, 1949, finding that the prosecution failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt. The judgment emphasizes that while allegedly illicit liquor was recovered during a raid, there was insufficient corroborating evidence from independent witnesses to establish the accused's possession or knowledge of the contraband, and the prosecution's reliance solely on police testimony without independent corroboration was inadequate to meet the burden of proof in criminal law.
