Hello Sir/Madam,
You have the right to evict the tenant on the ground of non payment of rent. First send a legal notice through an Advocate. In case of no response, proceed to initiate a case for eviction on this ground against the tenant. File a caveat petition forthwith to avoid an unwanted situation where your tenant gets an stay order against you.

You may send a legal notice to your tenant to his last known address through a local advocate, demanding immediate payment of all rental arrears and vacant possession of your house within 15 days, failing which you may file a suit.
