@ Struggling Landlord,

Eviction orders of the tenant has already been passed in favour of struggling landlord. It has not so far been stayed by appellate court since stay shall be operative on deposit of the amount ordered, which is not yet been deposited. 

You have stated inter alia, that, "....During lockdown tenant applied for restaurant license..." what was the usage of tenant before lockdown ?

How licence of restaurant is concerned with eviction ? 

Your Quarry is not clear. You have not disclosed the purpose for which teh said premises was being used before lock down.  Please clarify.

You have been proceeding and contesting your case(s) / appeal(s) right upto Apex Court through an able, competent and intelligent lawyer who is well aware about facts and circumstances of the case(s)/ appeal(s) and have successfully secured juedgment(s)/ order(s) in your favour, what is his advise on the issue ?

Why do you need second opinion and obligation of experts on this platform on the basis of distroted and limited facts, except the fact it is available FREE OF COST ? Do not adventure to rely on the advise of experts, which has to be based on limited facts posted by you and may differ / be imappropriate/ incorrect.

If you have lost faith in your lawyer change him / her immediately.

In my understanding, there is no need to rush to the High Court in WP. You can very well inform the authority (to whom the tenant has applied for the licence) of the pending court case and the decree for eviction. Simultaneously, you can also move the Appellate Court and get interim orders against the proposed change of user.
