Summary The court acquitted both accused Bhartbhai Pithbhai Parmar and Javid Bhai Hanif Bhai Makrani of charges under the Prohibition Act (Sections 65(a)(a), 116(b), and 81) for illegal possession of English liquor bottles, finding that the prosecution failed to establish the case beyond reasonable doubt. The court noted critical evidentiary gaps: only police witnesses testified without independent corroborating witnesses despite the seizure occurring in a public area, the panchnama (seizure document) lacked sufficient independent verification, and the direct possession of contraband by the accused was not conclusively proven. The accused were acquitted and granted bail of Rs. 5,000 each with surety requirements. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
