In this landlord file fir against tenant
In India, a landlord can file a First Information Report (FIR) against a tenant, only under specific circumstances, like if the tenant has committed a criminal act. For eviction matters, the landlord must follow the legal process through court. The police cannot assist in eviction without a court order.

If a landlord files an FIR against a tenant for a legitimate criminal act, the police may arrest the tenant. However, for eviction or rent-related issues, the FIR cannot be used as a tool for eviction. The police must follow due process of law.
