    Summary The 3rd Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Padra acquitted the accused Prakashbhai (alias Pako) under the Prohibition Act, Section 65(A)(A), finding insufficient evidence. The prosecution failed to establish beyond reasonable doubt that foreign liquor bottles (40 units, ₹12,300) were recovered from the accused's possession, as the seizure panchnama lacked proper documentary corroboration and FSL reports. The court applied the benefit of doubt to the accused, ordering his release on bail. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
