JUDEGEMENT

Case Summary The 3rd Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Padra acquitted the accused under the Gujarat Prohibition Act, Section 65(A)(A) due to insufficient evidence. The court found critical gaps in the prosecution's case: the seizure memo lacked independent corroboration, the investigating officer's testimony was uncorroborated, and no FSL (Forensic Science Laboratory) report was produced to confirm the seized substance was genuine liquor. Given these deficiencies and the benefit of doubt principle, the accused was acquitted and ordered released on bail. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
