your relative would be a protected tenant if he is staying since 1955 . but in case owner requires posession for bonafide personl use he cna evict owner . as far as increase in rent is concerned what was rent being paid . for how many years? has your relative received any communication from owner jacking up rent to 1 lakh?

They can not claim legally but since they are enjoying the status of a protected tenant , the house owner if he wants to get it vacated may come for a compromise rather than to involve in a long legal procedure. But is depends on situation and case to case basis.

Court can't compell the parties to enter in to settlement. Even tenant having good scope with this case. Approach your concern court for fix the fair rent regard the property

Some of my expert brother are diveting the raised query and answering unasked question.
Here the question is only suo-moto enhancement of rent to the extent of Rs. 1 lakh by landlord.
My reply is that the tenant may challenge the notice before Rent Controller and may demand to fix fair rent which is binding on landlord.

just keep in mind that the tenancy shall be governed by the Delhi Rent Control Act and interpretations given by SC and Delhi HC thereon.
you need not to worry, in case any notice is received then challenge the same before Rent Controller as advised by Mr. Makkad.
