in this case you may file a case before the rent controller for deposit of rent. also you may file a criminal case in the police station if your landlord is stopping electricity or water connection because they are basic necessities and cannot be stopped even if you have not paid the rent.

You can file a suit for recovery with damages under the Civil Procedural Code. You need to get your transaction history in order to make the claim effective. without the transaction history and if the money is paid in cash then you will need to show your bank entries around the payment details.
