Sir,
we are three brothers and now all are separeted by legally divided our home in equal three parts and partition wall have given. But the electric connection was my name and the elect meter is installed my brother side and because of that all are using the electric supply and i'm the only one paying the electric bill as the bill coming on my name. several time i tried to transfar the meter to my side but they are forcing me not allowing the electric dept team to transfar as not allowing to enter his area. also whenever i tried he also come to hit me. Sir, i don't know how i will transfar the meter to my side as they are enjoying the free lights more than 3 years. please help me what i will do in this position.
Thanks

serve a legal notice upon the Electricity Department, but prior to ensure that the partition is recorded in municipal records.
the most authentic way thereafter will be to file a Civil Writ Petition against the Electricity Department.
there can be other various modes to compel the transfer but Writ Petition will be more effective and quicker remedy.

Electricity deptt have a right to enter premises where meter is installed even if by police help.
By the way what happens when you do not pay.

You should immediately get your supply disconnected from the old meter and should apply a fresh connection for your premises.
This is the shortest way.

Get appropriate deed registered for partition in sub registrar office to avoid complications.
