You can proceed to file a police complaint and case in civil court for such malacious act. The society cannot terminate your water or electricity connection for non payment of maintenance amount. They can max file a civil suit for non payment of dues! Proceed with legal action against the society and its office bearers! Contact me for further help!
You can sue the society to restore the water supply. You can file a complaint to the society secretary who ordered the work.
