Correct Answer:
C. File application in Revenue Court
The eviction procedure under the Punjab Tenancy Act 1887 is a formal legal process designed to ensure fairness and due process. Option C, "File application in Revenue Court," is correct because the Act mandates that a landlord seeking to evict a tenant must initiate proceedings by filing an application in the designated Revenue Court. This legal channel ensures that all parties have an opportunity to present their case and that the eviction is carried out according to law.
- Option A, "By landlord’s order," is incorrect as landlords cannot unilaterally evict tenants.
- Option B, "By Police order," is false; police enforce court orders but do not issue eviction orders themselves.
- Option D, "By village panchayat," is also incorrect as panchayats lack the legal authority to order evictions under this specific Act.
