Once I had rented a house.
A landlord -tenant Agreement was signed and registered in document registrar's office.
The landlord wanted further assurance.
He suggested that I should give a copy of agreement in police station and should obtain their receipt.
I went to police station.
Initially, police was refusing to accept and refused to receive copy of agreement.
But after persuasion, it accepted and gave me receipt.
Two Principles
1) Since this was neither a complaint, not information of any crime, police was right in refusing to receive copy of agreement.
2) But police is bound to keep itself informed about tenants for prevention of crime on elderly landlord. Therefore, police was bound to receive copy this agreement.
