Respected Sirs,
Mr.A,Mr.B and Mr.C has carrying a partnership business at the tenanted premises. The landlord of the said premises is Mr.X. Rent receipt has been in the name of Firm, consist of Mr.A,B & C as partners. After some time Mr.A dies and in his place, his son (Mr.D) has been admitted in the business. But no intimation has been given to landlord regarding the death of Mr.A and admission of the Mr.D as a partner. The rent receipt remain in the name of same old firm consist of Mr.A,B & C as partner. This continues for 25 years. After 25 years the firm dissolved. On the distribution of all the assets, it has been agreed by all that the said office premises will be given to Mr.D (a son of deceased Mr.A). Howevevr, in the records of the landlord and also on the rent receipt name of Mr.D has not been mentiond for a long period of 25 years. Now Mr.E, who is a brother of Mr.D (and a second son of deceased Mr.A) has claimed that his name should be included as a co-tenant along with Mr.D, as in the records of the landlord, Mr.A (his father) is mentioned and Mr.B and Mr.C has surrender their rights related to said office premises. Sir, please advise me on the claim of Mr.E to include his name as a co-tenant. Landlord consider Mr.D as partner in the tading business of the firm only nad not in the office premises.
Thanks.
