    Case Summary: 65/2025 Court Decision: The defendant Mehulbhai Vinodbhai Miyavara is acquitted of electricity theft charges under the Indian Electricity Act 2003, Section 135. The prosecution failed to prove the case beyond reasonable doubt due to procedural defects in the investigation, including absence of proper panchnama (site inspection document), lack of independent witnesses, no documentary evidence establishing ownership of the property, and failure to seize equipment used for theft. The court found reasonable doubt regarding the defendant's involvement, warranting acquittal. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
