Government of Gujarat vs CHINTANBHAI VIRENDRABHAI LALA Advocate - C V BARIA — 164/2026

The court convicted Chintanbhai Virendrabhai Lala under the Gujarat Police Act Section 131 (a criminal offense). After the accused pleaded guilty and considering his plea that he comes from a poor family, is the sole breadwinner, and expressed genuine remorse, the court imposed a lenient sentence: imprisonment until the end of the court proceedings plus a fine of ₹500 (or 3 days simple imprisonment if unpaid), significantly lower than the statutory maximum penalty.
