STATE OF GUJARAT vs DALPATBHAI GHEMARBHAI RABARI Advocate - S B VAGHELA — 2382/2025

Court Summary The Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate of Khedbrahma acquitted two defendants (Dalpat Bhai Gamerba Rabari and Bijal Ram Mahadev Ram Rabari) charged under the Prohibition Act, Sections 65(A,A), 81, and 98, for alleged illegal possession of foreign alcohol and a moped. The court found that the prosecution failed to establish its case beyond reasonable doubt, particularly because the independent witnesses (Panchas) did not corroborate the police's allegations, and the search procedure's integrity was questionable. The court applied the principle from *State vs Raijibhai Chaturbhai Solanki* that conviction cannot rest solely on uncorroborated police testimony when Pancha presence was mandatory.
