Judgement Pronounced

Summary: The court acquitted accused Dharampal under Section 152(3) of the Electricity Act 2003, finding the electricity theft offense to be "compoundable" (capable of settlement). The decision was based on the fact that Dharampal had paid all outstanding electricity dues to the department, and the supervising engineer confirmed no objection to case closure. The court relied on Supreme Court precedent establishing that offenses under Section 135 (electricity theft involving meter damage) are compoundable in nature, and therefore Section 152 provisions apply. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
