Tenant not paying rent and resufing to vacate
1. We rented part of our commercial property to a tenant for 3 years.
2. The agreement was not on a stamp paper and not registered. We have a photo copy of agreement, he has original.
3. The tenant made unauthorized breakage to the property. There was a clause in the agreement that the tenant could make changes to property only with permission from landlord.
4. We asked the tenant to stop his work and repair unauthorized damages. The tenant is now lying that we gave him the go ahead to make changes. He is threatening to pay off witnesses in court to prove his point.
5. He is now simply sitting on the property without paying rent for 3.5 months (1 month of which was rent free). He says we asked him to stop work so he will not pay any rent. He is saying he has lost 30 lakhs in the deal and we should compensate him for his losses if we want him to leave.
Is there a way to evict him?

If the agreement is not stamped, doesn't that count against him in any way, since he is not actually a tenant legally?
