You have to first ascertain that you are the pagdi tenant of the garage.
Then only you can take legal action against possible eviction by landlord.
The Pagdi system, a distinctive form of tenancy in India, operates on a unique premise where the tenant becomes a partial owner of the property, excluding the land. Under this arrangement, the tenant pays rent to the landlord, maintaining occupancy rights unless subletting the premises.
It is a legalised form of tenancy under the provisions of the Maharashtra Rent Control Act, 1999.
According to
Section 56 of the Rent Control Act, 1999
, the consideration paid to the landlord as a fine, premium, or consideration (Pagdi) was legalised.
The landlord can not seek eviction from his tenant by his will or choice but in case of any default, the landlord can demand for eviction, for instance, in the case of failure of rent.

Yes, you have subsisting right and interest in the prospective redeveloped structure. any suggestion as to the extent of rights require that the documents be perused and issues discussed.
