    The 3rd Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Court at Padra acquitted the accused of charges under the Prohibition Act Section 65(a)(a) due to insufficient evidence and credibility issues with prosecution witnesses. The court found that the seizing officer's testimony lacked corroboration, crucial documentary evidence (FSL report) was absent, and the chain of custody for seized liquor was not established beyond reasonable doubt, thereby benefiting the accused with doubt.
