A.Hello Sir,
You need to pay the bill and give a legal notice to the first owner to pay the bill if he fails you need to file a suit to recover the amount and the interest which you have paid.

A.Dear Sir,
You may get issue a legal notice to your vendor to pay back the arrears of electricity bill. Further, you have to send another notice to electricity department saying that they are not entitled to recover arrears of more than 3 years.
