Switching off road light by house owner for self interest.

(Querist) 19 November 2017 This query is : Resolved 
Sir /mam
We have a road light at turn of our street. Near by house owner daily switch off the road light for self interest . This leads 3 puppies killed by car accident as there is so dark without light . Is there is any law regarding this under which I can file complaint. Because of her whole street get dark I told her many times but she don't understand by words.

Your colony people headed by you file a tort claim for permanent injunction against the defendant neighbor who switches off the street lights with the result that the whole street plunges into darkness which in its turn may lead to road accidents.You can pray for perpetual injunction and damages against the perpetrator neighbor who switches off street lights and the court may award you temporary or permanent injunction in one go preventing the man from switching off street lights and also a good amount of damages or penal damages.

Lodge a complaint with local municipality.

Do not dare to send any like or dislike as you are already "dis-grateful".

When desirous of filing any complaint desirability of law is irrelevant. Majority of complaints are found just to harm some opponent. So, why worry about law. When you give him legal notice, as already suggested by one expert, he is sure to respond appropriately to make you aware of whether your complaint would be justified or not.

One more suggestion for you, since you prefer light and he prefers darkness, would not it be possible for both of you to settle dispute by exchange flats with each other, as the electricity department or company would not shift its pole before your house for the ske of economy or without pursuit by the concerned municipality/ local body or the PWD?

I stick to my above view.
