    Case Summary: Paschim Gujarat Vij Co. Ltd. vs. Shantuba (Case 6/2023) The court acquitted the accused Shantuba Vikramsinh Manubha Jadeja of electricity theft charges under the Electricity Act, 2003, Section 135, finding that the prosecution failed to prove the allegations beyond reasonable doubt. The court noted critical procedural violations: the checking and inspection were conducted without authorized officers present, the seized evidence (wiring) was not properly documented, and the prosecution could not establish the accused's possession or use of the checked location, creating substantial doubt about the case's merit.
