    Case Summary: RCS 560/2025 The Principal Civil Judge at Surendranagar rejected P.G.V.C.L. Sub Division Patadi's claim of Rs. 146,390.76 against Virambhai Devabhai Bharvad for electricity theft. The court found that while the company alleged the defendant had made an illegal connection and stolen electricity on 13.02.2025, the plaintiff failed to discharge its burden of proof regarding the theft claim. The court noted that since the electricity company had filed a criminal complaint under Section 135 of the Electricity Act, the civil liability for theft should be determined by the Special Court under that provision before pursuing recovery through civil proceedings; consequently, the plaintiff's claim was dismissed without costs.
