A person allows a poor lady to stay in his property on the understanding that she will take care of the property and pay the electricity bills as and when required. He also transfer some money to her bank account for the construction of one room in the property. Now after 10 years he tell her to vacate the property but the lady first files a false complaint the local police station and then withdraws the same. Then she files a case in the court stating that she is tenant and there was a verbal agreement with owner for a rent on INR 1000 per month and she is a scheduled cast and should be allowed to stay in the property.

Quick Summary

A 70-year-old landlord allowed a woman to stay in his property for 10 years with the understanding she'd maintain it and pay bills. When he asked her to leave, she falsely accused him to the police and then filed a court case claiming to be a tenant with a verbal agreement, despite having no rent receipts. The advice suggests she cannot prove tenancy and, even if considered a tenant, her tenancy has been terminated. The landlord should issue a legal notice for possession and then pursue eviction and damages through the courts, ideally with the help of a local solicitor.

You have messed the facts wherein filing a false complaint and withdrawn is irrelevant to the property licenced to poor lady.

She is stated to have filed a case of tenancy on oral agreement @ Rs. 1,000/- per month without any receipts, implies she can not prove to be a tenant.

Even if she may be taken as tenant (which is otherwise not admitted) her tenancy has been terminated, being a trespasser she has made liable to pay mesne profits/ damages.

The landlord has to issue a legal notice for handing over vacant possession within 15 days failing which she is declared a trespasser. If she do not take action as demanded in the notice move to appropriate court for eviction and damages.

It would be appropriate to consult and engage a local prudent lawyer for better appreciation of facts and circumstances, professional advise and necessary proceeding.
