Farm land being occupied by tenant

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 25 March 2010 This query is : Resolved
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.

Dear Anonymous,

Your cousin might be cultivating on your land but for all practical purposes the ownership vests with you alone and at the most he has the nuisance value of being a occupant of the same.(This fact can be verified from the year to year revenue record).
Have a word with your cousin or file a eviction suit by a prior notice in this regard.

Best Regards

Your cousin cannot dispossessed you of your land.Try to study his intention before any such dispute arises.
