Judgement PronouncedView PDF
Summary The Additional Sessions Court in Kannauj acquitted accused Sanjay under Section 138(1)(b) of the Electricity Act 2003, charged with electricity theft by illegally reconnecting a disconnected meter. The court found the offense compoundable under Section 152 of the Electricity Act 2003, as the accused had paid all outstanding electricity dues and the Executive Engineer raised no objection to case closure. Applying Supreme Court precedent that Section 135 offenses (electricity theft causing meter damage) are compoundable in nature, the court discharged the accused and released his sureties.
