    The court dismissed the electricity company's civil suit for electricity theft damages filed under Section 135 of the Electricity Act 2003, rejecting the claim as it lacked proper cause of action and violated established precedent. The court held that civil liability for non-consumer electricity theft must be determined exclusively by the Special Court under Section 154(5) of the Act following criminal conviction, not through separate civil proceedings, and therefore the company's claim was premature and without legal basis.
