state vs Ramavatar Advocate - Mahesh Thalor — 42/2024

Court Judgment Summary The Special Court acquitted both accused Ram Tar and Prabhu Ram of charges under Section 136 of the Electricity Act, finding that the prosecution failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the aluminum wires recovered from the truck were actually electricity department property or were stolen from power lines. The court noted critical gaps in investigation, including lack of verification from electricity department officials, absence of departmental markings on seized wires, and failure to establish the exact location from which wires were allegedly cut.
