Final Orders / Judgements
Summary of Court Decision The court dismissed the plaintiff's (Western Gujarat Power Company Limited) civil suit seeking recovery of ₹7,22,388-49 from the defendant for alleged electricity theft. The court ruled that under the Electricity Act, 2003, disputes regarding electricity theft and civil liability can only be determined by the Special Court (under Section 154(5)), not civil courts. Since no criminal complaint has been adjudicated by the Special Court establishing theft and fixing civil liability, the civil court lacks jurisdiction to entertain this recovery suit independently. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
