Hi
The proof shown by the tenant is invalid in court of law as it is unstamped and unregistered.
Even if the proof is construed as evidence, it is the liability of the previous owner to settle the amount with the tenant as it appears that document is a promissory note and not a lease/tenancy agreement.
First file an eviction suit in the court of law and also file a criminal case (420 case) against the previous owner(your seller) as it is the duty of the seller to vacate the tenant and handover possession of the property for your peaceful possession and enjoyment.
