If the disc of a precision type energy meter rotates in case of the load completely removed from domestic wiring then what does it mean. The energy meter in question is tested ok and verified?
If your meter is running with no load connected, meaning your main breaker is off, call your utility company and notify them of the problem. There is no reason a meter should be turning with all loads disconnected. Some people suggest to get video evidence of the meter running with your main breaker disconnected. Supposedly this may make getting reimbursed from your utility company easier.

What is the cable between the service panel and electric meter called?
Whether you have an overhead or underground feed, that section of the installation is referred to as Service Entrance Conductors. On an overhead installation, it includes the conductors on BOTH sides of the meter, from the service drop conductors (attached at the service head) to the service equipment LINE terminals. On an underground installation, it refers only to the conductors between the meter's LOAD side and the service equipment LINE terminals. The conductors on the LINE side of the meter come from a distribution transformer and are unbroken between the transformer and your meter.
How does the electric company disconnect electricity?
The feed from the pole is cut at the pole end. In some cases the meter will be pulled. To get it reconnected a permit and an inspection must be done. A disadvantage of letting the service get disconnected is that the reconnection requires the house to be brought up to current electrical code standards.
