    Judegement

    Case Summary: 365/2021 Court Decision: The court acquitted the two accused (Anil Haribhai Vamja and Kartikbhai Jamanbhai Patel) of charges under the Gujarat Prohibition Act, Sections 65(E), 81, and 98(2), giving them the benefit of doubt due to insufficient evidence. Key Reasoning: Although foreign liquor (428 bottles worth ₹70,680) was seized during a police raid on May 4, 2019, the prosecution's case was based primarily on police testimony and weak witness corroboration. The court found that the independent witnesses (panchas) present during the seizure did not adequately support the prosecution narrative, noting critical procedural gaps including lack of proper panch-nama (formal seizure document) prepared in their presence and absence of corroborating independent evidence connecting the accused to the contraband.
