Judegement
Case Summary: CC/879/2025 Court Decision: The Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate at Ghoghamba acquitted accused Rakeshbhai Saburbhai Salat of illegal liquor possession charges under Gujarat Prohibition Act sections 65-A, 65-E, and 98-2 for insufficient evidence. Key Reasoning: The prosecution failed to establish its case because the panch (witness) signatories to the seizure panchnama (formal record) turned hostile and did not corroborate the recovery facts. The investigating officer's deposition also lacked concrete evidence proving liquor was found from the accused at Rajgarh Chaukadi. The court found that reliance solely on police witnesses without independent witness corroboration, combined with the panchas' non-support, rendered the muddamal (seized goods) recovery doubtful and unproven. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
