    Case Summary: RCS 417/2025 The court partially allowed PGVCL's suit against defendant Ramjibhai Gangabhai Chavda for recovery of Rs. 48,433.22 for illegal electricity consumption detected during a September 2023 inspection, where 2045 watts were being illegally drawn. The defendant failed to appear or contest the case, and the court found the plaintiff's uncorroborated evidence (inspection report, witness affidavit, and documentary records) established prima facie theft of energy. However, the court reduced the claimed 18% interest to 6% simple interest per annum from suit filing until realization, finding no contractual or statutory basis for the higher commercial rate, and ordered the defendant to pay the principal amount plus costs.
