GOVERNMENT OF GUJARAT vs RAVINDARA KUMAR SHANTILAL SOLANKI Advocate - J M DINDOR — 219/2025

Case Summary: Government of Gujarat v. Ravindara Kumar Shantilal Solanki Case No.: 219/2025 Court Decision: The court discharged the accused under Section 85 of the Gujarat Police Act (drunk and disorderly behavior charge), finding insufficient prima facie evidence. Although the FIR alleged general misconduct (quarreling, abusive language, indecent behavior), the police complaint and chargesheet lacked specific, concrete particulars demonstrating the accused's conduct as prescribed under Section 85—namely, that the accused was drunk and created a nuisance, quarreled, used foul language, fought, or misbehaved with a woman in a public place. The court held that mere suspicion unsupported by clear factual details in the record was insufficient to frame charges, applying the settled legal principle that a trial judge must exercise judicial discretion to determine whether sufficient prima facie evidence exists before proceeding to trial.
