A.Dear Sir,
If you are not comfortable you may quit and hand over the vacant premises alternatively if you are strong then file a suit for permanent injunction and seek temporary injunction restraining the landlord not to evict you illegally without adopting due course of law and thus you may stay there by paying admitted rent of Rs. 14k for next 2-3 years.

A.Dear Client,
In the absence of a specific term in the rent agreement empowering the landlord to hike midway, the landlord cannot hike the rent which is also against the principle of fair rent. A dispute between a tenant and landlord is resolved under the state-specific Rent Control Act under which a Rent Controller or Addl Rent Controller is appointed to deal with the dispute if arises between the parties. So, in the prevailing situation, serving a legal notice to the landlord, you can file an application explaining your grievance against the landlord before the concerned Rent Controller to resolve the issue amicably. Reach out to an Advocate for guidance and steps.
