    Order

    Case Summary: RCS No. 37/2026 Court Decision: The Principal Civil Court of Gariyadhar partially allowed PGVCL's claim against respondent Akbarbhai Haidarbhai Pathan for unauthorized electricity consumption. The court awarded Rs. 18,431/08 plus 6% annual interest from the date of suit filing until recovery, determined from meter inspection evidence showing illegal direct wire connections bypassing the company's meter. Key Reasoning: The court found the respondent guilty of electricity theft based on documentary evidence (inspection reports, bills, certificates) and witness testimony, though it reduced the interest rate from the claimed 18% to 6% per annum as per civil procedure norms. The respondent failed to contest the charges or provide counter-evidence despite proper notice. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
