    The court acquitted the respondent Sumitraben of charges under Section 65(A)(A) of the Gujarat Prohibition Act, finding insufficient evidence to prove she unlawfully possessed liquor on 09/05/2025. The court noted critical deficiencies in the prosecution's case, including lack of proper documentation linking the seized liquor to the respondent's possession and absence of corroborating FSL reports, thus granting her benefit of doubt and ordering her release on bail.
