They are taking advantage of the pending litigation.

So to overcome the loss you have to pay the electricity bill and repair at your own cost.

I could not find any other better option.

If they are not ready to partition the land then you can file a suit for partition of the joint land. After the decree of partition is passed you can obtain separate tubewell and electricity connection. This is the only legal remedy.

If they are not ready to cooperate with the repair or making the tube well function by paying the arrears of electricity bill, you may have to file an application before the same court seeking relief of benefits of tube well by permitting you to make it alright and to share the electricity bills with you, let them express their opinion or objection to this before court and let the court decide about it.

Do not indulge in any action that would be detrimental to the present case that is going on.

They refuse to pay bill and carry out any repair

Also they are not ready for partition .then what is the legal option??

Since you too have rights in the tube well, you can file an application seeking the relief and also to share the arrears of electricity bill and you may even request the court to direct the authorities to transfer the electricity connection to your name to facilitate you to pay the bills regularly in future without default.
