I was allotted two shops by local development authority of Jodhpur on fee license basis in 1976. I am paying rent regularly. about 12 years back many property files were lost or stolen in the authority office including of this property.So they stopped taking rent cheques as file was not available. Recently on my persuasion and follow up amount was deposited by them for period as per my memory and rent brought up to date subject to nay arrears found by them in future which I undertook to pay. I also requested them to rebuild file by taking copies from me and follow public records rebuilding procedure. But they are refusing to build the file despite 6 months passed.Instead they have threatend to go to court.
In 2000 Rajasthan government issued an order for all local bodies allowing them to issue 99 years lease deed at specified percentage charge of current reserve prices for various slabs of renting out Period.I also applied in 2005 but it was never considered.All forms of proprties like on rent/fee license/use and occupation etc for shops,buildings,land,kiosks,cabins etc were allowed and also those cases where further sell or transfer was made by an occupant to other person without approval of authority at 5% extra surcharge. The period covered was from prior to independence and upto 1990 in 3 slabs i.e upto 10 years prior to order date.
Thousands of such properties are rented out in various cities in rajasthan as well as in whole country.
Now my questions are clear and specific
1 Can a commercial property allotted on above terms be got vacated by a local body?
2.Can rent be increased? I have paid back more than double amount of cost of shops incurred by local authority when built in 1971.The auction amount in 1974-75 was Rs 55000 per shop.I have paid till date 2.2 lacs rent.
3.Can local body refuse to consider my application for issuing lease deed as per above order cum policy circular issued by government.I applied in 2005 and again in january 2011.The papers were simply thrown away by them as the file was missing.
4. Can a local authority take specific action in an isolated case like me when thousands of such properties are rented out and they dont even pay rent or rents are more or less nil as below Rs 100 PM.
5. When a property file or original instrument is lost or stolen in a government office who is responsible to recreate it and what is normal procedure.What is procedure if original instrument is lost by the occupant ?
