• Evacuation of a tenant and inheritance

The property was purchased by my dad in 1999 (45 cents for Rs 80000) to help those people for their daughters marriage. As my dad was not having any immediate use with the property he allowed the previous owners to stay in the same place without any rent.But the sale deed was legally registered and since 1999 my dad was paying the land tax till 2013.In May 2013 my dad went on a comma and was in that state for four months and died on September 2013.After his death the tenants filed a criminal case against my mother that my dad has lend them money and in lieu of that he has forcibly taken their property and till January 2013 they were giving interest of Rs 4000 per month since then though they don't have any evidence about it.Till now they are staying in the same premises
Can you please tell me what are the legal procedures to be followed to evacuate them?

1. You have the sale deed in favour of your deceased father to prove your ownership. Issue a lawyer's notice to tenants to vacate the property. If they refuse to do so then file a case for their eviction in court.

2. The criminal case filed against your mother will have to be contested by her on merits. If no evidence of her culpability is forthcoming then she will be set free, whereupon she may sue the tenants for defamation.
