Case Summary: Special Electricity Case No. 281/2023 Court Decision: The court acquitted the accused, Sajidbhai Harunbhai Malek, of electricity theft charges under the Electricity Act, 2003, Section 137P. The prosecution failed to prove the case beyond reasonable doubt due to critical procedural deficiencies, including lack of proper independent witnesses during inspection, absence of meter verification records, and insufficient evidence of the accused's ownership/possession of the premises where the alleged theft occurred.
