Court Decision Summary The Special Sessions Court (Electricity Matters), Kannauj acquitted defendant Daleel Singh of charges under Section 138 of the Electricity Act, 2003 for alleged electricity theft. The court found that while Singh had reconnected a previously disconnected power meter without paying outstanding bills of ₹45,628, the prosecution failed to establish the essential elements of electricity theft, including the quantum of electricity stolen and financial loss caused, as no independent technical evidence or meter report was presented. Additionally, the court noted that Singh had subsequently paid all outstanding dues and related settlement amounts, with the electricity department confirming no objection to case closure. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
