VERSUS
Shahib Ram M/S. And Others. Respondents

JUDGEMENT

Gopal Krishan Vyas, J. - (1.) The instant criminal leave to appeal has been filed under Section 378 (1) and (4) of Cr.P.C. against the judgment dated 09.04.2013 whereby the learned Addl. Special Judge (Electricity Theft Cases) & Addl. Sessions Judge No.1, Sriganganagar acquitted the respondent No.1 from the charge levelled against him under Section 135 of Electricity Act, 2003.
(2.) Learned counsel for the appellant submits that finding given by the trial Court in the judgment impugned is totally perverse because by leading ample trustworthy evidence, prosecution has proved the case that the respondent No.1 is guilty of committing offence of electricity theft punishable under Section 135 of Electricity Act but on technical ground, the trial Court acquitted the respondent No.1 from the charge levelled against him, therefore, the judgment impugned may be quashed.
(3.) Learned counsel appearing for the respondent vehemently opposed the prayer and submits that after full fledged trial in criminal complaint filed by the appellant on 13.09.2006 before the Judicial Magistrar (JD), Sri ganganagar, the Special Judge, (Electricity Theft Cases)& Addl. Sessions Judge No.1, Sri ganganagar acquitted the respondent from the charge levelled against him under Section 135 of Electricity Act, therefore, no case is made out to grant leave to appeal.;
