Final Orders / Judgements
Court Decision Summary The court acquitted the accused, Maheshbhai Zunzhabhai Dekani, of charges under the Prohibition Act Section 66(1)(b) and Motor Vehicles Act Section 185 for drunk driving. The prosecution failed to establish guilt beyond reasonable doubt despite circumstantial evidence, as critical procedural safeguards—including breath analyzer tests, independent witness statements, and proper medical examination documentation—were absent from the investigation record. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
