He has got both the Civil Court and Writ remedy, but its better to move Civil Court rather than approaching HC.

This appears to be an accident only.
I do not think any remedy lies against unfortunate death of the said persons.

Though you have not put much facts of the case like whether a police complaint was made against electric department or not and whether post mortem had been conducted or not over the body of deceased boy and whether a representation has been made to concerned officials of the electricity company and I do presume that all such has been done so now a suit for torts is required to be filed before the local civil court,

Even a criminal case can also be filed against the concerned officials of the company.
