electricity bill recovery by court

Tenants are generally responsible for their own electrical bills so long as their lease agreement does not dictate otherwise. 

Disagreeing with above views.

While I agree with Mr Rachakonda that tenants are generally responsible for payment of electricity bill.  True that can be contractual agreement with landlord and tennant but not an agreement with electricity department/company. The electricity department / company does not recognise anyone else than registered owner.  Notwithstanding the queriest has stated nothing about existance of any tennant. He has also not commented upon the ownership of the property and has also not stated how meter was in his name.

He are lucky that other person is not caught stealing electricity and in such case there would be FIR against his as registered owner..
