Cable wire dangling over my property

Hi,

Few days back i found a cable is dangling over my property area which is around 10ft above ground, exactly above the way to my parking. We use the area as entrance. We have requested the cable distributor to remove the cable and route it clear off my house. But they have not removed it.

The distributor is simply avoiding to lay extra cable to save money.
What are my legal options?

Give a complaint to Municipal authorities with a copy to the Cable guy. It may work.

The notice must be served through Registered post giving a time frame for removing within a week from receipt of the notice, and failure to do that may result in removing by cutting off has to be resorted, further to violation resulting in a criminal complaint to Police for the past violations. Also, enclose a photograph for more clarity.

The legal procedure to be followed in this regard may consume lot of time, instead you can remove the cable dangling on your property which hinders your free movements to your house and exit.

If the cable operator is creating any problem on this, you can lodge a criminal complaint with the local police and initiate legal action under criminal law against him.

You can send legal notice through watsapp messages, email, etc. SC Allows Use Of WhatsApp For Court Summons.
