A. Dear Sir,
If you are not comfortable you may quit and hand over the vacant premises alternatively if you are strong then file a suit for permanent injunction and seek temporary injunction restraining the landlord not to evict you illegally without adopting due course of law and thus you may stay there by paying admitted rent of Rs. 14k for next 2-3 years.
