SUBHAM ICE FACTORY OWNER HITESHKUMAR RASIKBHAI JAYSVAL vs PGVCL, KESHOD Advocate - K T DUBEY — 51/2024

Summary The Gujarat District Court reversed the trial court's dismissal of a power theft case, ruling in favor of ice factory owner Hiteshkumar Rashikbhai Jaishwal against Paschim Gujarat Vij Company Ltd. (PGVCL). The appellate court held that PGVCL failed to prove electricity theft since it relied solely on a meter anomaly code without expert technical evidence, independent electrical inspector testing, or a mandatory provisional assessment, thereby invalidating the Rs. 8.53 lakh power theft bill issued in 2010.
