    Case Summary: 1202/2026 Petitioner: State of Gujarat Respondent: Savadas alias S.K. Karabhai Godhaniya Court: Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Porbandar Judgment Date: 29 April 2026 Decision The court acquitted the accused (Savadas alias S.K. Karabhai Godhaniya) of charges under Gujarat Police Act Section 135 (illegal possession of a knife in violation of weapons proclamation). The court found that the prosecution failed to prove the case beyond reasonable doubt. Key evidentiary gaps included: witnesses (panchas) who signed the seizure panchnama contradicted the prosecution's version during cross-examination; no independent witnesses corroborated the arrest; and the investigation relied solely on police officer testimonies without neutral corroboration. The court held that reasonable doubt must benefit the accused, making conviction impossible when essential elements remained unproven.
