my property since 10 years and got a electric connection in his name without my permission or ownership document, i am the owner and i have all valid deed, tax receipt, can i disconnect the electric line??
A.Dear Client,
Procedures for disconnection of electricity connection are available with the concerned supplying agency or the licensee. So you need to visit the concerned Electricity Office for the purpose. Further, it may be noted that other than the Owner of the building, nobody can apply and be allowed an electric connection, So you can make an application under RTI Act, 2005 to the concerned Electricity Authority seeking information with regard to how a connection is allowed to a person other than the owner. Further, according to the law of adverse possession, if a person continues to be in possession of a property for 12 years without any interruption from the owner, he gets ownership rights to the property. Reach out to an Advocate for guidance and steps.

A.Dear client,
In most jurisdictions, the legal process for disconnecting utilities such as an electric line would typically involve following the appropriate legal procedures. Here are some steps you could consider:
Consult with a lawyer: It is advisable to consult with a lawyer who specializes in property or real estate law. They will be able to guide you on the specific laws and regulations in your jurisdiction and advise you on the best course of action.
Review property ownership documentation: Gather all the valid property ownership documents you have, including deeds, tax receipts, or any other relevant proof of ownership. These documents will be important to establish your ownership rights.
Investigate the occupation: Collect evidence or documentation that proves your maternal uncle's unauthorized occupation of the property. This can include witness statements, photographs, or any other relevant records.
Communicate with your maternal uncle: Initiate a formal conversation with your maternal uncle regarding his occupation of the property and the unauthorized electric connection. Provide him with notice that you intend to take legal action to address the issue if necessary.
Contact the utility provider: Inform the electric utility provider about the unauthorized electric connection and provide them with evidence of your ownership. They may have specific procedures in place for dealing with such situations.
Legal action: If necessary, you may need to take legal action to address the unauthorized occupation and the electric connection. Your lawyer will guide you on the appropriate legal steps, which may include filing a lawsuit for eviction or seeking an injunction to disconnect the electric line.
