Government of Gujarat vs KETAN URFE KALU RAMANBHAI MAKVANA Advocate - J M VAGHELA — 900/2025

Judegement

Court Decision Summary The Judicial Magistrate First Class, Thangadh acquitted both accused under the Prohibition Act, finding that the prosecution failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that foreign liquor seized from their possession was genuine. The court held that witness testimony from the panchas (independent witnesses) did not corroborate the seizure, no FSL report was produced to authenticate the bottles, and no company representative verified the product's authenticity—therefore the presumption under Section 116(B) could not be invoked. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
