Forcefully erection of Electric pole on agricultural land

What are remedies available to owner of the land in which electric pole forcefully erected by electric company for supplying electric to individual user?

owner has issued objection letter, even if whitout giving any notice/intimation or whithout complying rule of natural justice.

what is available remedies to the owner after forcefully/illegally erection and laying down of electric pole for use of only single private user?

You can approach High Court to issue prohibitory Orders against the Electricity Company.

If the said erection is controlled by state, then as per Indian Telegraph Act , you cannot take objection. And if it is done by Pvt. Co. it can be settled by paying compensation to the owner, otherwise you can take objection and file a Police Complaint first.

under electricity act and telegraph act if there has been sanctioned scheme in those matters they made publication and settle compensation first however their acts can be challenged even in civil court if they have suitable alternative or have not paid any compensation i.e. execept your land they cannot be allowed to errect or install pole in middle of it by making entire land a waste land you can seek injunctive relief
