Judgment

Court Decision Summary The Special Court (Electricity Act) in Krishnagar, Nadia acquitted all four accused persons (Tanmoy Ghosh, Jhoru Mallick, Azid Sk, and Himu Mallick) of charges under Section 135(1)(a) of the Electricity Act for alleged illegal electricity theft through unauthorized connections. The court found that the prosecution failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt, citing critical evidentiary gaps: seized materials were not produced in court, seizure lists lacked independent witness signatures despite the incident occurring in accessible STW premises, and ownership of the premises was not established. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
