    Judegement

    Court Decision Summary The Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate acquitted both defendants (Savanubhai Hasmukbhai and Sargarbhai Hasmukbhai) of liquor prohibition charges under the Bombay Prohibition Act Sections 65(E), 81, 83, and 98(2), granting them the benefit of doubt due to insufficient credible evidence. The court found that the panchnama (official seizure record) lacked proper witness corroboration, the panches did not substantively support the prosecution's case, and critical procedural irregularities undermined the reliability of the seized alcohol allegedly recovered from the defendants' auto-rickshaw on June 28, 2024.
