    Summary of Case 419/2025 Court's Decision: The Special Court acquitted the accused Nitinkumar Badriprasad Agrawal of charges under Section 135(1)(b) of the Indian Electricity Act, 2003, giving him the benefit of doubt. The court found that while the prosecution alleged electricity theft worth Rs. 3,26,214, the evidence presented—relying solely on utility company officials and lacking independent witnesses, proper documentation of ownership, and timely filing—was insufficient to establish guilt beyond reasonable doubt.
