JUDEGEMENT

The Railway Court in Surat acquitted the accused Ritesh Kumar (charged under Gujarat Prohibition Act sections 65(I) and 116(B)) due to insufficient evidence, finding that the prosecution failed to establish its case beyond reasonable doubt. The court noted critical evidentiary gaps including weak witness testimony from panchas (witnesses), lack of independent witnesses, and procedural irregularities that undermined the prosecution's credibility. Consequently, the accused was discharged and any seized contraband alcohol was ordered destroyed as per law. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
