Hello,
In this case, you can file a case for mandatory injunction before the concerned Family Court. Through this case, you can seek a direction from the court to your spouse to immediately restore the electricity connection to your residence. Such an act of disconnection amounts to harassment and deprivation of basic amenities, and the court can intervene to ensure that essential facilities like electricity are not used as a means of coercion or pressure.

You can immediately file a petition for a mandatory injunction in the court handling your civil/family dispute. Request the judge to order restoration of the electricity supply, arguing that your wife’s action constitutes harassment and deprivation of basic amenities for dependent family members. Approach the local police station to file a complaint for harassment, especially since your children and aged parents are affected. Attach evidence: electricity bills, your civil case reference, proof of residence, and supporting documents. You can also mention this issue in your pending civil case, highlighting her act as further cruelty and pressure
