Government of Gujarat vs JISHANKHAN AMJADKHAN KURESHI Advocate - J D CHAVDA — 1115/2025

Summary The Judicial Magistrate First Class at Thangadh acquitted the accused Jishankhaan Amjadkhaan Qureshi of charges under the Prohibition Act Section 65(A)(A) for alleged unlicensed possession of 5 liters of country liquor worth Rs. 1,000. The court found that the prosecution failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the seized material was alcohol or that it was in the accused's direct custody, as the independent witnesses (panchas) did not corroborate the seizure panchnama and no FSL report confirmed the substance was liquor. Consequently, the accused was granted the benefit of doubt and discharged under BNS Section 271. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
