    Case Summary: 1218/2024 The court acquitted the accused, Ashokbhai Amrutbhai Gajjar, of electricity theft charges under the Indian Electricity Act, 2003, Section 135(1). The prosecution failed to establish its case as the investigation lacked proper procedure—no specimen evidence was seized, no inspection photographs were taken, no panchnama (formal record) was prepared with required witnesses, and the property owner's ownership was not verified. The court found the prosecution's evidence insufficient and unreliable to prove the allegations beyond reasonable doubt. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
