Final Orders / Judgements
The court acquitted the accused Dasharthji Punjaji Thakor of electricity theft charges under the Indian Electricity Act, 2003, Section 135(1), finding that the prosecution failed to establish its case due to procedural defects in evidence collection and lack of proper documentation. The court noted that critical evidence was not collected following legal procedures, no seizure memo was prepared in the presence of witnesses, and no proper panchnama (official record) was conducted, rendering the prosecution's case insufficient for conviction. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
