    Summary of Court Decision The Principal District Judge of Mahesana dismissed the appeal filed by Uttar Gujarat Vij Company (UGVCL) and upheld the trial court's judgment ordering the electricity company to pay compensation of Rs. 20,35,000 to the family of Vaghari Madhubhai Prahladbhai, who died from electrocution caused by contact with a live 11 K.V. power line. The court held that electricity companies engaged in inherently dangerous activities like power supply bear strict liability for deaths resulting from their negligence in maintaining safe infrastructure, regardless of any negligence by third parties.
