The court acquitted the respondent, Makvana Vinubhai Arajanbhai, of charges under Section 135 of the Electricity Act 2003 for alleged unauthorized electricity theft. The court found that the prosecution failed to establish its case beyond reasonable doubt, noting critical evidentiary gaps including lack of proper documentation of seized materials, absence of independent witness testimony regarding house ownership, no photographs or videography of the scene, and insufficient proof of the respondent's involvement in the alleged offense. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
