My father had rented four of our shops without any agreement with the tenants. The shops were rented almost 35 years back. My father has been giving rent receipt to the tenants for the rent they have paid over the years.
Currently there is a case going on in the court for these shops. We have asked for vacating of the shops on the ground that we need the shops for our own use. The case has been going on for a long time now. Its almost been 8 years. The shops are located in the state of Uttar Pradesh.
My question is that can we do new construction on the roof of the shops? Do we need any kind of clearance and can the tenant raise any objection?
Please advise.
