Government of Gujarat vs Bhimsingbhai Gopubhai Mavchi Advocate - R N GAMIT — 82/2026

Summary The court acquitted the accused Bhimsingh Gopubhai Mavchi of charges under the Prohibition Act Section 65(A)(A) for alleged illegal liquor possession. The court found that the prosecution failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt, primarily because the panchnama (official seizure record) lacked independent corroboration, the FSL certificate on seized materials was not produced, and the case relied solely on police testimony without credible independent witnesses. Citing Gujarat High Court precedents, the court ruled that conviction cannot be based solely on interested police witnesses and that the prosecution must meet the requisite evidentiary standards. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
