09-Feb-2023 (In Landlord/Tenant Law)
Dear Sir/Madam, We as a owner or tenant failed to submit police verification of my tenant and unfortunatly did not got any notice as well. Yesterday police claiming that FIR will be filled il under section 188 against me and i have to report back to thana. So anyways just want to know the legal hassles or Is this can be taken care by some fine system.Because FIR something which I consider as a trivcjy part.Any advice would be of great help.
Section 188 of the IPC deals with "disobedience to order duly promulgated by public servant". This provision is attracted when such disobedience is likely it produce harm. In your case, the order you have disobeyed is one that requires you to complete tenant verification. However, no harm is likely to be caused by your ommission to do so. Though the police may still book you under this provision as it is a 'cognizable offence'. Complete the police verification at the earliest. If you feel that the police may still file an FIR against you then you should engage an advocate to handle the case as criminal proceedings will be initiated as soon as an FIR is lodged.

Police verification for tenants is commonly required in many states under various state-level laws and regulations.
If you believe that someone has rented out their flat without obtaining the required police verification in Mumbai, you may consider filing a police complaint. Collect any evidence that supports your claim, such as documents, communication records, or any other relevant information that indicates the lack of police verification. Go to the nearest police station in Mumbai that has jurisdiction over the area where the flat is located. Bring all the evidence you have gathered and explain the situation to the police officers. Provide a detailed account of the incident, including the fact that the landlord rented out the flat without proper police verification. The police will record your complaint and initiate an investigation. Be prepared to cooperate with the police during their investigation. They may ask you for additional information or evidence to support your complaint.
It's important to consult with a legal professional or visit the local police station for specific advice and guidance based on the laws and regulations applicable in Mumbai.
