Government of Gujarat vs AKSHAYBHAI JAGDISHBHAI CHAUDHARI Advocate - A N PATEL — 93/2026

Case Summary The court acquitted the accused, Akshaybhai Jagdishbhai Chaudhary, of charges under the Prohibition Act (Section 65-A) for allegedly possessing 5 liters of illicit liquor. The court found that the prosecution failed to establish its case beyond reasonable doubt, as the witnesses were police officers lacking credibility, the panchnama (seizure record) had procedural defects, and no independent witnesses supported the seizure claim. The court held that the burden of proof lay with the prosecution, which it did not satisfactorily discharge, resulting in the accused's acquittal under the Indian Penal Code and discharge of charges.
