JudegementView PDF

Case Summary: RCS-143/2025 Court Decision: The Additional Civil Judge at Limbdi decreed the electricity company's claim for recovery of unauthorized electricity charges. The court found the defendant liable for ₹15,204.59 in unpaid electricity bills plus 6% annual interest from the date of the claim until full payment, and ordered recovery from the defendant's person and property. Key Reasoning: The court established unauthorized electricity usage (697 watts detected during inspection) based on checking sheets, inspection reports, and company witness testimony. The defendant appeared ex parte (without legal representation) and provided no credible defense. Under Section 126 of the Electricity Act 2003, unauthorized consumption is a civil matter requiring only proof of the unauthorized use and resulting loss—not criminal intent. The electricity company's inspection reports and documentary evidence were accepted as authoritative, with the burden on the consumer to disprove them.
