Society disconnecting power supply

Dear Sir,

I reside in Borivili - Gorai area of Mumbai. We live in a 1+1 structure.

Some residents use motors to supply water from ground floor to the top floor.

Due to water cut last year our society had decided to cut power supply of all the houses for 1.5 hours daily during the summer time.

They have not resolved the problem of water supply yet and again this year they want all the houses to cut power for 1.5 hours daily.

Reason cited by few members is -

1. they dont get water supply due to power connection in the houses .

2. Everyone does it so you should also switch off your power.

They are not willing to check their water supply line and get the problem resolved.

We have requested the society that the power cut is not the solution to the water supply problem, and do not switch off our electricity, but still everyday there are quarrells regarding this matter.

Can the society forcefully cut my electricity power connection??? 

What is the procedure to make a complain about this issue.??

Regards

Vinay Madavi

Sir,

Water and electricity supply are essential supplies and can not be curtailed by the landlord or the society under any circumstances and for any trivial reason whatsoever. You may immediately make a complaint to the local Police station.

Good Luck,

Kishor Mehta

The power supply is a contract between electricity deptt/company and the purchaser.  It is they only who can do load shedding due to power shortage or they can disconnect a particular connection due to non-payment/pilferaage/misuse/overloading.

 

Society is 3rd party having no jurisdiction /power to disconnect. 

 

You have to dial 100 when supply is cut.

 

Police will come and arrrest them.

 

Then they will complaint to the water supply deptt and your motor will confiscated and you will be fined as online motor is illegal
