Judegement
Case Summary The 3rd Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Court, Padra acquitted the accused (Rekhaben Rameshbhai Malo) of charges under the Prohibition Act Section 65(A)(A), finding the prosecution failed to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt. The court held that the prosecution's case was based solely on an uncorroborated police witness statement, FSL testing was not conducted on alleged seized liquor, and critical evidentiary gaps existed regarding the seizure and ownership of the alleged contraband, warranting acquittal with benefit of doubt.
