Tamil Nadu Electricity Board [TNEB] — erroneous excess billing after a year to new owner of property

I have purchased a property in second-hand during may 2018. I was advised by
He previous owner that this was vacant post dec 17. There was a faulty neutral which was duly changed. While he has comlained earlier about charge levy during apr 2018 that the house was vacant, tneb has denied for admisson of anything and levied him some charge in apr 2018.

Now after 1 year i am shocked to see my bill with an arrear charge of rs. 15864. I am told this is average levy for dec17 to feb 18, while this should be levied : a. Not to me and to previous owner at the time of change in ownership
B. While there is no unit consumption the levy itself is adhoc considering that this remained vacant at that point in time
C. Upon raising complain in tneb portal this was closed without actually doing anything
