Summary The court acquitted both defendants (Vishalbenai alias Gado Jagdishbenai Bagda and Dhavalbenai alias Punio Babubenai Makwana) under the Prohibition Act's Sections 65(A)(I), 116(B), 98(2), and 81. The court found that the prosecution failed to establish its case beyond reasonable doubt, primarily because the panch witnesses could not adequately corroborate the recovery of contraband liquor, and no independent witnesses supported the prosecution's allegations regarding the alleged smuggling conspiracy.
