    The court acquitted defendant Ashifbhai Sulemanbhai Dodai of electricity theft charges under the Electricity Act 2003 Section 135, finding that the prosecution failed to prove the case beyond reasonable doubt. The court noted critical procedural deficiencies, including the inspection being conducted without proper authorization, lack of independent witnesses, and insufficient evidence establishing the defendant's continuous possession of the alleged property, ultimately ruling the defendant not guilty.
