I HAVE A SHOP AT A PRIME LOCATION.IN 1976 UNDER THE PAGDI SYSTEM THE RENT WAS FIXED AT RS 355.THE ORIGINAL LANDLORD PASSED AWAY IN 1992 AND HE HAS 2 SONS,ONE OF THE SON CLAIMED TO BE THE LANDLORD OF MY SHOP,BUT SINCE 1997 HE STOPPED TAKING RENT AND STOPPED ISSUING THE RENT RECEIPT.THE RENT RECEIPT IS IN MY FIRM`S NAME.I SENT MULTIPLE MONEY ORDERS THROUGH R.P.A.D IN THE YEAR 1999 2000 2001 2002 WHICH THE LANDLORD DIDNT ACCEPT.I AGAIN SENT THE MONEY ORDER THROUGH R.P.AD IN 2009 UPTIL 2012.
RECENTLY A MONTH AGO HE SENT ME A NOTICE CLAIMING I`M A DEFAULTER AND TO HAND OVER HIM THE PROPERTY AS HIS WIFE WANTS TO START A PHARMACY STORE.HE ALREADY HAS MANY MANY PROPERTIES.ON THE CONTRARY I`M EARNING MY BREAD AND BUTTER FROM MY SHOP AND HAVE NO OTHER PROPERTY TO CONDUCT BUSINESS.I SENT HIM A REPLY THROUGH A LAWYER AND TOLD HIM I`M NOT A DEFAULTER AS I`VE BEEN SENDING RENT AND HE HAS NOT BEEN ACCEPTING IT.
HE HAS ILLEGALLY SETUP A PAN SHOP RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY SHOP`S SHUTTER TO HARRASS ME,I`VE FILED A COMPLAINED IN PMC BUT LOOKS LIKE THE PAN WALA AND THE LANDLORD GIVE PMC MONEY UNDER THE TABLE,THATS WHY THE PAN SHOP IS STILL THERE.
MY QUERY IS HOW DO I SAFEGUARD MYSELF,WILL SENDING MONEY ORDERS AND THE LANDLORD NOT ACCEPTING IT A PROOF WORTHY ENOUGH TO SAFEGUARD MYSELF IN CASE A CASE IS REGISTERED AGAINST ME?
