Pagadi property

The rights to the tenancy in a pagdi property devolve on the persons who were staying with the tenant at the time of his death or leaving the premises.

Hence no one else can claim the tenancy rights agaisnt you if you are staying for so long.

Also if your cousins have not asked for their rights until now why do you feel they will ask at this stage?

They are not my cousins. They aremy uncle and now tey are asking for their share in the said property. Is there any rule which says that my uncles can`t claim there rights in that property as we were living with my grandmother from 1980 till her death in 2008.

Your uncle can claim whatever he wants but if you do nto agree then he will have to go to Court and when he goes to Court, the Court will study the facts and if the facts are that you were staying with your grandmother when she passed away and she was a tenant at that time in the property, then the tenancy can be transferred in your name if all those who were satying with you at that time give you the NoC.

Since your uncle was not staying with you at that time he cannot stop the tenancey being ransferred to you or if it already transferred he cannot interfere in it.

And since you are occupying the property, he will have to approach the Court for his claim. You will have to wait until there is a Court summons issued in your name or reply to a legal notice sent to you. Till then you need not worry if the facts are as above.
