S.C.JINDAL vs UHBVNL TR.EXEC.ENG.

The Supreme Court held that the findings of fact by the first appellate court regarding the absence of tampering with the electricity meter and the lack of evidence supporting the demand of Rs.2,72,677/- were valid. The Court emphasized that in a second appeal, the High Court should not interfere with factual findings unless they are perverse or unsupported by evidence. The Supreme Court ultimately restored the decision of the first appellate court, affirming that the demand was unjustified and the appellant had not committed any theft of electricity.
