Not Getting New Electric Connection


19-Aug-2023 (In Family Law)
My father died in 2017.He took multiple electric connections in his name during his lifetime.His second wife and two daughters have used those connections after his death.Bills are not paid by then on time. I had spent my entire student life in hostel and had no idea about all these. I came to know about it in 2021 when i had built a separate house and applied for new connection. I had explained my problem to the officer of that time and she provided me the connection. There are no dues in this connection. I have paid all bills on time. But this year i had applied for another connection in my name. Again office is rejecting me for the same reason i.e, bills of my father. The officer who helped me last time is now transferred. I am totally seperated with my stepmother and stepsisters.I stay with my wife in the house built by me.What should i do now to get the connection?? I am not in a position to clear the dues in my father's connection.. As i have not used those connections

first thing first you are not entitled to have more than one electric connection in the same premises for a family. if joint family then one connection in the same premises for all. however you can have multiple loop meter connection. if you have built a different house altogether then you are entitled to have a different connection for that house. if you need Court order for that you can connect with any high court lawyer who will help you get your electricity connection regards, Tanmoy Chattopadhyay, M.Sc (Net), LL.B (Delhi University), Advocate, Hon'ble High Court, Calcutta.
