PGVCL Gariyadhar Through Its Deputy Engineer vs DHIRUBHAI NARANBHAI BORICHA — 42/2026

Case Summary: RCS 42/2026 Court Decision: The court partially allowed PGVCL's claim against Dhirubhai Naranbhai Boricha for illegal electricity consumption. The court awarded Rs. 25,923/28 paisa in unpaid electricity charges plus 6% annual interest from the date of filing until recovery, with recovery permitted against the defendant's movable and immovable property. Key Reasoning: The court found that the defendant illegally tapped into the electricity supply line without authorization and consumed power without proper billing. Although the defendant defaulted in appearing before court, documentary evidence including inspection records and bills substantiated PGVCL's claim. The court reduced the requested 18% interest to the statutory 6% rate under CPC Section 34, finding the higher rate excessive.
