JUDEGEMENT

The Sagbara Judicial Magistrate acquitted all five accused persons of charges under the Gujarat Prohibition Act, 1949 (sections 65(A)(E), 98(2), 81, 116(B)) for alleged possession and distribution of prohibited foreign liquor worth ₹78,800. The court found the prosecution's evidence insufficient and lacking independent corroboration—particularly noting that no panchas (independent witnesses) provided substantive evidence supporting the police case, and the police officer's testimony alone constituted only corroborative evidence, not proof beyond reasonable doubt. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
