1. Ask landlady to restore electricity connection (in writing) within 2-3 days, if landlady do not get it yourself.
2. Inform the police to restrain interference (in writing) as there is specific direction from HC, provide a copy of order.
3. On her resistance, file petition for Contempt of Court

agreed with Dr Vashista. No other way.

In such like cases sometimes HC insists compliance by closing hours. High court also has powers to keep presence of landlady and SHO in court till order is complied.

I agree with the suggestions of Mr.Sudhir Kumar and Mr.Vashista.

Yes, since the order of HC is resisted you can now file contempt proceeding in the high court.
Now it will be promptly complied with.

Law of Contempt is an English Law. In a contempt case prima-facie the applicant has to prove (a)that the order of the High Court is within the knowledge of the alleged comtemnor and (b) that the contemnor knows English and can understand the meaning of the order. In a contempt petition the role of the applicant is merely an informer and the parties are The Court and the Contemnor.

Contempt should be filed. Agree with the experts.

Have you or the Executive Engineer provided a copy of the HC Order to the police?

RAJESH KUMAR PANDEY (Querist) 17 April 2014
Sir, I have provided, now he is agreed that I can go for electrification but when I told SDO regarding this he is saying me to provide Police protaction to his lineman than only he will doen electrification. Now what to do as I am highly frustrated

The SDO himself can write to the police to provide police protection. What is the hitch for him when Executive Engineer has passed his order and directed JE for restoration of connection?

I go with the advice of Dr.Vashista. Follow the guidance given by Expert Mr.Roy.

T. Kalaiselvan, Advocate (Expert) 17 April 2014
Yes the SDO himself can seek police protection for the men working under him and also can file a complaint against the person who is interrupting a government servant from performing his duty. The high court order will be more than enough for the SDO to initiate appropriate action in this regard.
