Government of Gujarat vs Kishorbhai Premjibhai Sarvaiya Advocate - G K GABU — 16/2024

Judegement

Summary Case 16/2024: Government of Gujarat v. Kishorbhai Premjibhai Sarvaiya Advocate The Special Electricity Court in Limbdi acquitted defendant Kishorbhai Premjibhai Sarvaiya of electricity theft charges under Section 135 of the Indian Electricity Act, 2003. The prosecution failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the accused illegally bypassed an electrical meter and stole 43.436 kilowatts of power valued at ₹41,28,840.40. Key evidentiary gaps included: lack of independent witnesses, contradictions in witness statements, no seizure memo for allegedly confiscated materials, and absence of photographic documentation of the alleged theft site. The court found the prosecution's case rested entirely on testimony from power company officials with vested interests. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
