    Case Summary: CC 286/2024 Decision: The court acquitted both accused (Hareshbhai Bhupatbhai Baria and Natvarbhai Amrabhai Baria) of charges under sections 65AA and 81 of the Gujarat Prohibition Act. The prosecution failed to establish its case due to critical evidentiary gaps: the panch witnesses turned hostile and denied the seizure occurred, no documentary proof of property ownership was provided, no independent locality witnesses were recorded, and no forensic report verified the seized liquid was genuine Indian Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL). This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
