Summary: The Additional Sessions Judge at Sangamner acquitted Shivaji Ramnath Abhang of charges under Section 138 of the Indian Electricity Act, 2003, finding the prosecution failed to prove unauthorized interference with MSEDCL electricity supply. The court noted critical evidentiary gaps: no seizure of materials used, a vague panchnama lacking date/time, material inconsistencies between witnesses, a three-day delay in FIR filing despite the complainant claiming to have witnessed the offense, and no investigation into the actual beneficiary of the alleged illegal connection. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
