    Judegement

    Court Decision Summary The 3rd Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Court, Padra (Gujarat) acquitted the accused in a case under the Prohibition Act. The court found that the prosecution failed to establish beyond reasonable doubt that the accused was in illegal possession of liquor (0.3 liters worth ₹600). Critical gaps in evidence—including missing FSL reports, lack of documentary proof of seizure, and weak witness testimony—created reasonable doubt favoring the accused, who was consequently acquitted and released on bail.
