    Court Decision Summary The 3rd Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Padra, acquitted the accused under the Prohibition Act Section 65(b) due to insufficient evidence. The court found that the prosecution's case rested entirely on a seizure memo that lacked corroboration from credible witnesses or FSL reports, and the alleged contraband items could not be definitively proven to be illicit liquor. The court gave the benefit of doubt to the accused, ordering his immediate release and cancellation of bail bonds. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
