These are all criminal offences, a criminal complaint should be filed immediately. Subject to the prevailing Rent Act rules in your state, eviction suit for the tenant's eviction should also be filed.

Unbelievable story.
Instead of tenant it would have been landlord to erect wall and disconnect electricity, if any. Tenant can never be landlord and make such changes against landlord.
Recheck. If so, contact, consult and engage a local prudent lawyer to teach a lesson to such arrogant tenant and obtain eviction orders from competent court/police authorities .

Landlord can issue a General Power of Attorney in your favour in the matter of this property. You will be able to represent him in all Civil suits on strength of this POA.

Dear sir, if we file criminal case , complainant had to appear court , during bail and trial.That is not possible.Criminal case power of attorney is not applicable.POA applicable for civil suit.Please advice some civil way to handle the situation.

From the facts stated by you, this is an apt case for initiating criminal case aganist the high-handedness of the tenant. Atleast file an FIR . Civil remedy will be time consuming. Further, it is not understood as to how the tenant got the Landlord's electricity connection disconnected? Was the power supply not in the name of the Landlord? If yes, he should approach the local power supply company to restore thr supply imnediately. Power supply is given on the basis of an agreement between the Electricity Company and the registered
Consumer and as such if the tenant had illegally disconnected the landlords electricity supply, on intimation by the landlord, i.e.registered consumer, Electricity Company Company is bound to reconnect supply and also book the tenant if he had directly interfered with the power supply given to the consumer.

The facts reveal that tenant has taken the law in hand with muzzle power with amotive to seize the property. Perhaps, the local police too cunnived with him to achieve the task.Unless the issue is taken to the higher ups, ie.with DSP or SP level, it may not be possible to drive the tenant out.This kind of rowdyism has become the order of the day when the law and order takes the back seat with folded hands.Yet, your sincere steps will bear fruits, by moving out firmly with civi and criminal actions.

From the subsequent clarifications given by you after my previous opinion, it is now clear that the tenant has no locus standi to object shifting of the meter as he is neither the registered consumer of the Power company nor the owner of the premises. The consumer can even seek disconnection of the power supply, if he so desires. You must personally meet the higher ups of both the Power cimpany and the Police Department like the DSP or Police Commissioner and seek their intervention.
If you disclose the name of your place, it is also likely that perhaps some local member(s) of this Lawyers Club itself may also volunteer to help this Senior Citizen who being harassed by such cunning thug.
