For non payment of the rent, he cannot cut electric supply. You can give complaint to police for creating nuisance. If there is no action from local police meet DCP or commissioner of police.

If the owner wants any relief, he has to approach the civil court, but cannot cut electric connection.

The owner cannot deny the basic amenities and he cannot indulge in such activities like disconnecting the electricity or water supply, it is illegal, he can be taken into task, you can lodge a criminal complaint against him besides obtaining an injunction order against him from a civil court.
