Copy of Judgement

The court acquitted Vimla Devi of charges under Section 138B of the Electricity Act 2003 (unauthorized electricity connection), finding that the prosecution failed to prove the electricity theft beyond reasonable doubt. Although prosecution witnesses testified that the accused had reconnected a previously disconnected meter to steal electricity, the court noted critical gaps in evidence, including missing physical evidence, incomplete FIR documentation, and absence of independent witnesses, rendering the testimony insufficient to establish guilt. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
