You must issue a notice of termination of tenancy on the ground of sub-letting and arrears of rent. If there are other grounds like causing of nuisance or damaging the property etc, mention those grounds also. Then file suit for eviction.

thanks.sh palnitkar, how much time courts take to decide this type of case. can we claim rentin court also

PALNITKAR V.V. (Expert) 19 June 2011
Normally it takes about 3-5 years for the decision in the first court. You can claim arrears of rent in court also besides damages in lieu of rent from the date of termination of tenancy.
