    Case Summary Court Decision: The Judicial Magistrate First Class, Thangadh acquitted the accused Hakabhai Kanubhai Parghi of charges under the Prohibition Act Section 65(A)(A). The court found that the prosecution failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the contraband liquor (3 liters valued at Rs. 600) was recovered from the accused's direct possession on October 3, 2024. Key Reasoning: The court noted critical evidentiary gaps: the panchas (witnesses) who conducted the search could not corroborate the seizure details, no independent witnesses testified, and crucially, no FSL (Forensic Science Laboratory) report confirmed the seized material was actually alcohol. The lack of forensic evidence and weak witness testimonies meant the prosecution could not establish the charge with certainty.
