Court Judgment Summary The Special Electricity Court in Nadiad acquitted the accused Somabhai Mohanbhai Chauhan of electricity theft charges under the Electricity Act 2003, Section 135(1)(a), finding that the prosecution failed to prove the case beyond reasonable doubt. The court held that the prosecution could not establish that the accused owned or occupied the premises where the alleged theft occurred, that proper seizure procedures (panchnama) were not followed, and that the complaint was filed four days after the incident without explanation, creating reasonable doubt in the accused's favor.
