    Summary: The Principal District Judge, Gir-Somnath allowed the appeal by Paschim Gujarat Vij Company against the trial court's dismissal of its civil suit for recovery of Rs. 85,740.42 for electricity theft charges. The court held that civil courts have jurisdiction to entertain electricity-related recovery suits involving alleged theft, as such disputes fall outside Section 126 of the Electricity Act, 2003, which is handled by special courts. The trial judge's dismissal under CPC Order 7, Rule 11 was found erroneous and the matter was remanded for proper proceedings.
