    Summary of Case 327/2023 The court rejected the electricity company's civil suit against the respondent for electricity theft recovery under Electricity Act Section 135. The court held that civil liability for electricity theft must be determined exclusively by the Special Court under Section 154(5) of the Act, not by regular civil courts, and that the company failed to establish a valid cause of action by not first obtaining a criminal conviction or civil liability determination from the Special Court.
