Summary In Criminal Case No. 75/2026 under the Prohibition Act Section 65(A)(A), the court acquitted accused Bhaniben Amarsibbhai Vagela of charges related to illegal possession of country liquor. The court found that the prosecution failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt, noting critical gaps in the investigation including: reliance solely on police witnesses without independent corroboration, lack of statements from neutral witnesses at the public location where the contraband was seized, and insufficient evidence establishing the accused's conscious possession of the seized liquor. The court granted the accused the benefit of doubt and ordered her release. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
