HI experts,
We have a small farm 4 acre of mango plantations in andrapradesh in my fathers name.
The same has been given to my cousin to look on yearly basis on payment of money. we bought the plantation in year 2002.
Now cousing is not ready to leave the plantation and is saying he wants to cultivate or buy at the basic cost of purchase. He had assisted ( not financially) in buying the farm as we live in the city.
We do not want to give the same, as it my father hard earned money. Now there is a dispute and not allowing any other tenant to cultivate the same.
Suppose he is of the intention that after 10 years of cultivation the farm becomes his. Is there any law of protection for landowners.
Please help, on how to proceed.
Regards
Sridar.

You shall have to issue him a notice to vacate the farm on the expiry of the tenancy period. If he fails to do so file a civil suit for eviction with demand of 10 times more mesne benefits. He shall have to vacate it. You have all rights in your favour. A tress-passer has no right to retain your property.
