Pagadi system property is rented and not absolute ownership.

Rented Property can not be sublet by a tenant.

he has other tenants but they pay the rent to BMC and not to him?

This statement develop some doubt in my mind. I saw some properties which are actually owned by BMC , given to some one latter transferred to third party and so on.

This case require study from land records to all things in details then only conclusion can be drawn which type of property this is additionally every thing related to it.

I doubt this is not simple Maharashtra Rent Control Act 1999 case
