State vs Geeta Devi — 298/2024

The court acquitted Geeta Devi of charges under Section 138(B) of the Electricity Act 2003 for alleged electricity theft, finding insufficient evidence to prove the accusations. The judge determined that prosecution witnesses provided contradictory testimony, lacked credible documentation (disconnection slip lacked proper signatures and dates), and failed to present necessary technical evidence like electricity meter inspection reports. Additionally, the accused had already paid all outstanding dues and penalties as of March 6, 2026, and the electricity department raised no objections to case closure.
