The applicant, Digpalsinh @ Kumarpalsinh Madarsinh Gohil, sought regular bail before the Gujarat High Court after being arrested on 07.04.2026 in connection with offences under the Prohibition Act, registered at Shihor Police Station, Bhavnagar. He was alleged to be a proposed purchaser of seized liquor, but the investigation was complete and a chargesheet had already been filed. The Court considered factors including the non-serious nature of the offences (not punishable with death or life imprisonment), completion of investigation, parity with co-accused who had been granted bail, and the principle that 'bail is the rule and jail is the exception' as affirmed in Sanjay Chandra v. CBI and Gudikanti Narasimhulu v. Public Prosecutor. Despite the applicant having 27 past antecedents (12 pending), the Court found this a fit case for bail and granted it subject to conditions including a personal bond of Rs. 25,000, restrictions on leaving Gujarat, monthly presence before the police station for six months, and prohibition from entering District Bhavnagar for six months.
