First Send him money order, There is a provision in Harayana Rent Control Act to depost the rent. If the owner is trying to evict unauthorisdly then u can file suit for injunction that the owner can not evict you with out due proces of law.

MR. Bansal,
It is clear that you are residing in that house as a tenant. You must have made some agreement with previous owner, if yes, then your tenancy is protected upto the period which is shown in that agreement which you can rightly claim against the new owner. if not, than your tenancy is month to month basis. The new owner can rightfully eject you after giving proper notice and time.
However, it is also true that new owner cannot eject you unreasonably at his whim and caprice. If owner owes onther residential house then you can oppose eviction on ground of necessity.
If owner use force or giving threatning to disposses you otherwise than under due process of law then you can seek injunction under Specific Relief Act.
I hope this would certainly solve your problem
