are you paying the bill by meter reading or not? you can complain about the faulty meter yhenm the department will put a test meter to check the present meter..If they still dont listen you can file the case before the consumer forum and take a stay on disconnection
Electricity bill are paid according to the meter readings ,if you think that your meter is faulty you can complain in the electricity department about the faulty meter.If the concerned department doesn't respond then you can approach consumer forum of your district.
