There is an occupant who has been given accommodation in a pagdi system house by the tenant of house as the occupant has been a widow and had no place to stay then . She has been staying since 1990 with the tenant. The tenant has been staying at the same house with her family her only son and husband . The tenant and her husband expired and the property is currently occupied by the Tenants son and the widow who was given accommodation on the humanitarian grounds . Will the widow have any claim on the property of that house if it goes in redevelopment under the Mhada rules as she has been an occupant .
The rent is being paid by the tenant before and now by the tenants son.
Is not the landlord obliged to transfer the tenancy in the name of the son as he is the only legal heir .

The occupant is an unauthorised occupant without any relation to the tenant, but has been permitted to occupy the place on humanitarian grounds.
Therefore she cannot claim any share in the pagdi system property on redevelopment as a right
