Landlord harrasing

I am doing business in a industrial property in Delhi for last 30 years. few
months back my landlord disconnected the electricity to force me out
of the property. I have paid full rent and electricity charges prior
to it. I have stopped paying him rent for the property and asking him
to restore electricity. He refused and threaten me that he will throw
me out soon. what should i do. our rent agreement expires 20 years
back but neither i nor landlord make any objection and he was taking
rent regularly. By not having valid rent agreement how can i defend
myself.

Therefore, it is highly recommends that settle the matter by calling a meeting with the land owne
