Case Summary: State v. Shyamkant (856/2024) The court acquitted Shyamkant of charges under Section 138(1)(B) of the Electricity Act 2003 for alleged electricity theft. The prosecution failed to prove essential elements of the crime—specifically, the quantum of electricity stolen and financial loss caused—and presented insufficient evidence of meter tampering through proper technical investigation. Notably, the accused had paid all outstanding electricity dues (₹26,161) before trial, further undermining the prosecution case. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
