Dear Amit
As far as the change of name is concerned that can only be changed with the consent of a person who applied for the same if he is alive ,otherwise
every occupant of premises has got the right to electricity, Board has got no right to refuse this amenity . if the Electricity board has given you in writing ,then only remedy available to you is file a suit for mandatory injunction with relief of temporary mandatory injunction directing the board to provide connection immediately. It is also not necessary that one must be the owner of the property to get the connection.

You can apply for new connection, in new name and when installed, apply for disconnecting old connection by paying all pending dues as the person has left the premises .

If the temple is being managed by a trust, on the basis of a resolution by the trust members, an application to the Electricity Board may be tendered to change the name of the connection in view of the property belonging to the said Trust.
