GOVERNMENT OF GUJARAT vs BHAVANSINH NANSINH CHAUHAN Advocate - H F BARIA — 1337/2025

Case Summary: CC No. 1337/2025 Court Decision: The accused, Bhavansinh Nansinh Chauhan, was acquitted of charges under Section 65AA of the Gujarat Prohibition Act. Key Reasoning: The court found that the prosecution failed to establish its case beyond reasonable doubt. Critical evidentiary gaps included: the panch witnesses turned hostile and denied that liquor was seized in their presence; no documentary evidence proved ownership of the raided premises; no forensic report confirmed the seized bottles were genuine Indian Made Foreign Liquor; and no independent witnesses from the locality were produced despite the raid occurring in a residential area. The court concluded these deficiencies rendered conviction impossible. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
