A piece of advice for future:
As far as renting of a house is concerned, try not to enter into a long term agreement but go for a short term agreement called “INSTRUMENT OF LICENSE” valid for eleven (11) months only. It is suggested that you collect six months rent in advance from the LICENSEE at the time of signing the agreement. The rent for the remaining five months should be made available by the LICENSEE to the LICENSOR before the end of the sixth month. If he/she is unable to pay the balance at the end of the sixth month, issue him/her a month’s notice and make him/her vacate the house. If the LICENSEE does not agree to these terms, do not allow him/her to occupy your house. Make sure you do not include the word “tenant” in your agreement. Also, avoid using the word "rent;" you may instead use the words "licensee fee."

Preetam Rana asked for advice to get rid of a tenant:
"My friend is an elderly person and he
cannot run to the court as court matters normally take years to pronounce a
judgement. Should he try what the crooks try by hiring some goons and evicting
such outsiders ? Please advise????"

Dear Preetam,
Hiring goons is an effective way of getting rid of problem tenants but consider the following:
1) What if the goons then take over the property and ask for vast sums of money to vacate? You cannot then approach the courts because you have already committed an illegality by using muscle power to get rid of the tenants. It's a never ending circle.
2) You say the crooks hire goons. All the crooks are currently out of power and spending all their energies in poaching crooks from other parties by incentives and threats. Goons are very expensive these days.
I suggest you approach the cops. Whenever there is President's Rule it is the executive who are kings, specially the cops as there are no politicians breathing over their shoulders with threats of transfers and demotions. In fact this is the only viable option for you right now. All the goons have gone undercover as their political godfathers are out of power and cannot get them released from jail.
I hope my advise was helpful.
Cecil
