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