Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in India

We have been staying as tenants since 3 yrs. The landlord uses a portion beside ours and both portions have common electric meter. We were unaware of this and were paying the total bill. Whenever it used to be huge, we used to ask the landlord but she used to bluff us that only we are using it. On the whole she did a fraud of 25000/- INR. How can we get back our money? There is no lease agreement.

file a complaint of theft of your electricity against the owner before police but you should be sure and have to prove.

He cheat you no doubt. You can file complaint case under section 406 and 498-A and various other cases and he has to come back to india even his parents has to get the bails and have the harassment a lot in getting bail. There is one Domestic Violence act then u will be able to live into his house with protection by the police and you can also get a huge maintenance per month from your husband or his inlaws.
