    Case Summary: RCS-128/2024 Court Decision: The court partially allowed Paschim Gujarat Vij Co. Ltd.'s suit against defendant Govindbhai Rambhai Dangar for electricity dues recovery. The defendant was ordered to pay Rs. 48,667.84 (reducing the claimed Rs. 49,667.84 by disallowing Rs. 1,000 legal notice charges lacking legal basis) plus 6% simple interest per annum from the suit filing date until realization, along with court costs. Key Reasoning: The court found the defendant committed electricity theft by installing an additional yellow wire to bypass the meter, as documented in inspection report No. 432 dated 20/10/2021. The defendant failed to pay outstanding regular bills (Rs. 37,625.89), a power theft supplementary bill (Rs. 36,377.36), and delayed payment charges (Rs. 11,242.15 from April 2022–April 2024), leading to permanent disconnection on 26/03/2022. Proceeding ex-parte due to the defendant's non-appearance, the unchallenged plaintiff evidence proved liability, though the legal notice charges claim was rejected for lack of contractual justification.
