Electricity board needs your consent to install electric poles on your land
2) it has to pay compensation for installing the poles . Issue legal notice to Board to remove the poles
3) if Board refuses file writ petition in HC to direct Board to remove the poles
. Section 12(1) of the Indian Electricity Act, 1910 empowered the licensee (Board), among other things, to lay down and place electric supply lines and other works in any place within the area of supply. But sub-section (2) of Section 12 made it clear that nothing contained in sub-section(1), shall be deemed to authorise or empower a Licensee, without the consent of the owner or occupier concerned, to lay down or place any electric supply line or other work in, through or against any building.
10. Based upon Section 12 (2), it was held by a learned Judge of this Court in Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd vs. Tamil Nadu Electricity Board {2007 (2) MLJ 111} that the erection of poles in the property of the person, without obtaining his consent under Section 12(2) of the said Act, was illegal. In an another decision in Superintending Engineer, TNEB vs. M.Sengu Vijay {2011 (3) MLJ 625}, a Division Bench of this Court also held that under Section 12(2) of the Indian Electricity Act, 1910, the Board was bound to get consent from the owner of the property. The Bench held that the mere silence or inaction on the part of the land owner, cannot be taken to be implied consen
You can file a mandatory injunction suit against the department of electricity seeking to remove the poles installed in your agriculture fields without your permission or consent and also to pay compensation for the mental and physical losses you suffered due to their reckless and arrogant attitude and for recovery of vacant possession of your property.

1. Yes the board is required to give a notice before entering into private land
2. You can issue a legal notice and mark it to police station for necessary action
3. Also consider filing a writ petition in high Court challenging the action of the board of illegally entering into your land without notice and demand removal of the poles plus compensation for damaged caused to your plantation
You say about the last time, but have not mentioned when this last time was?
If you have all the evidences for the losses you suffered and the claim made is well within three preceding the date of filing the application, you can give a try for that too through civil suit for recovery of damages.
Without permission and giving appropriate notice and compensation for installing poles.
Seek injunction against the electric department and seek compensation. File a writ petition before the hc against the department and seek injunction against the department.
Issue legal notice to department to pay compensation and remove the polls if department doesn't take action challange same on writ before High court.
1) You should have made complaints at that time when you have lost all crops due to the fire toom by electricity.
2) Now you file a complaint against electricity board for compensation against fire took place in your crop. And took them regarding electric poles as well.
1) Yes, you can apply for compensation to them.
Firstly, I advice you to give a representation to the concerned authority who has shown their right ove the land.
Secondly, then wait for few days may be 5 it may be 15 also if no urgency.
Thirdly, then file a Writ of Mandamus in the Hon’ble High Court for the direction to the responsible department to not to dispossess you without following the due process of law as to without giving compensation plus ask for the present damages that you have suffered.
File a writ petition in the High Court in order to claim compensation from the state authorities.
