Yes. You can. But you have to file an eviction case against him.

Whether the occupant (licencee) of property has claimed "adverse possession" ? It is advisable to consult and engage a local prudent lawyer for better appreciation of facts and professional guidance to proceed.

You may initiate steps for eviction. As the first step you may serve a legal notice on him informing him that the accommodation was provided to him in connection with his employment and now that he is no longer in employment, his continued occupation is unauthorised and he needs to vacate the premises. you may also demand from him the rent for the period of unauthorised occupation.

You should not curtail the water or electric supply that is a criminal offence, you have an option to file an RAD suit against him as he is using your premises gratuitously.
