Learned AGA has produced before this Court the instructions dated 13.02.2025, sent by Sub Inspector P.S. A.P.T. (Anti Power Theft) District Sultanpur whrein it has been stated that charge sheet dated 21.12.2024 has been prepared and sent to the supervisory authority. Instructions are kept on record. Since the charge-sheet has been prepared by the Investigating OfÏcer, it is presumed that sufÏcient evidence has been collected and filed with the Charge- sheet before the Trial Court for its evaluation, therefore, this Court feels it to be inappropriate to interfere at this stage. The writ petition is dismissed with liberty to the petitioner to approach the Competent Court for raising his challenge to the Charge-sheet.
