FAQs

What administrative distinction is being made in this sūtra?

It separates ordinary eviction/removal for prohibited residence from serious wrongs (assault, theft, violence, unlawful seizure, fraud), which must be processed under their specific penal categories rather than treated as mere tenancy disputes.

What is the policy intent behind ‘anyatra’ (except)?

To prevent landlords or local authorities from bypassing criminal/penal procedure by disguising serious offences as simple tenancy removal.
