The court rejected the electricity company's civil suit seeking recovery of electricity theft charges under Section 135 of the Electricity Act, 2003, holding that such disputes fall within the exclusive jurisdiction of the Special Court, not civil courts. The court found that civil liability for electricity theft must be determined by the Special Court through criminal proceedings under Section 154(5) of the Act, making the plaintiff's suit lacking in cause of action.
