    Court Decision Summary The Additional District and Sessions Court in Dholka acquitted the defendant Vaniben (accused of electricity theft under Indian Electricity Act 2003, Section 135(1)(a)) due to insufficient evidence. The court found that the prosecution failed to establish ownership of the property where theft occurred, did not properly recover and document seized materials following legal procedures, and failed to produce corroborating independent witnesses, thereby giving the accused the benefit of doubt.
