    Summary The court acquitted the accused of electricity theft charges under Section 135 of the Electricity Act, 2003, finding that the prosecution failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt. Key weaknesses included: lack of documentary evidence of property ownership, procedural delays in investigation and panchnama (site inspection), absence of independent witness corroboration, and failure to maintain proper seizure records. The court emphasized that the burden of proof rests with the prosecution, and discrepancies between witness testimonies and documentary evidence necessitated acquittal. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
