    Case Summary: Government of Gujarat v. Nanduben W.O. Maganbhai Becharbhai Mali (C.C. No. 206/2026) The 3rd Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Padra, acquitted the respondent Nanduben of charges under IPC Section 65(B.C.F.) and 65(A)(A) for illegal possession of foreign liquor. The court found that the prosecution failed to establish the case beyond reasonable doubt, noting critical evidentiary gaps: the seizure witnesses provided only limited corroboration, the FSL report was not produced, and no documentary evidence proved the respondent's ownership or possession of the seized materials. The court applied the benefit of doubt favoring the accused and ordered her acquittal with release of bonds and cancellation of any security deposit.
