1. The lessee has taken the right steps in delaying the case and prolonging his stay in the property without any rent.

2. Hence you better file a suit for his eviction.

3. Without the decree of eviction he can not be ousted form the premises.

4. Do not go for demolition now. First evict him and then for things of your choice.

Since he is the tenant and has already obtain status quo order and the same has not been vacated, you cannot throw him out of the property forcibly.

You have to follow the mater through court only.

The municipality cannot give you permission to raze the building or demolish it during the pendency of the civil suit in this regard. You also cannot take law into your hand.

1. If he is acknowledging the eviction notice and the same is returned undelivered, you may file an eviction suit before the civil court enclosing the undelivered notice with the plaint.

3. You cannot demolish the building on your own, yo have to take the permission of municipality on the basis of the age of the building and its dilapidated condition since the matter is pending before court.

5. For misbehavior or any other violent activity or insults or nuisance you may lodge a complaint with the local police

If you have served him notice then file suit for eviction.

There is no other way out.
