    Case Summary: Special (Electricity) Case No. 303/2023 Court: Special (Electricity) Court, Jamnagar Judgment Date: 22 June 2026 Accused: Pravinbhai Somabhai Najir Charge: Electricity theft under Indian Electricity Act, 2003, Section 135 Verdict: Acquitted — The court found the prosecution failed to prove the case beyond reasonable doubt. Despite allegations that the accused stole electricity worth ₹1,68,351 by illegally connecting to power lines near his residence in Lalpuram on 20 May 2023, insufficient corroborating evidence and weak witness testimonies rendered the charge unsubstantiated.
