    Judegement

    Case Summary: C.C. No. 928/2023 with C.C. No. 86/2024 Court Decision: The JMFC Court, Dhrangadhra acquitted both accused persons (Abhishek Rajkumar Tiwari and Sureshchandrapal Raghutiram Paal) of charges under Gujarat Prohibition Act 2016, Sections 65(a), 65(e), 116(b), and 71. The court found that the prosecution failed to establish its case beyond reasonable doubt due to insufficient corroboration from independent witnesses (panchas) during the search, lack of proper evidence regarding the seized liquor bottles' authenticity, and inadequate documentary support for the case. The court held that without independent corroboration from panchas present during the search operation and without establishing the authenticity of the seized contraband spirits, conviction cannot rest solely on uncorroborated police testimony.
