JudegementView PDF

Case Summary: RCS 379/2024 Court Decision: The court ruled in favor of P.G.V.C.L. (Petitioner/Electricity Company) against Rudatala Popatbhai Kanjibhai Shardulbhai Mangabhai (Respondent/Consumer). The court found that the respondent engaged in unauthorized electricity consumption by illegally bypassing the meter and ordered him to pay the outstanding electricity bill of Rs. 1,58,256 plus 6% annual interest, with recovery authorized against his property and possessions. Key Reasoning: The court accepted inspection reports prepared by the company's officials as credible evidence establishing that the respondent had illegally diverted electricity supply, preventing proper meter recording. The respondent failed to substantively rebut these findings or provide documentary proof of innocence. Under Section 126 of the Electricity Act, 2003, unauthorized electricity use—a civil matter distinct from criminal theft—was established, making the consumer liable for the full unpaid charges with interest.
