Sir, you can approach civil court under provisions of Karnataka Rent Act and get basic amenities  restored.  The agreement should be valid and you need to supporting g documents for having paid rents. The electricity Bill's etc could also be used to an appropriate orders  from court. In case you are mortgagee still you can approach court of law get an order of injunction based on your possession.
