Pil for victimisation of tenants of public trust

I am tenant and our building was owned by a Public trust till 2007. We were in contact with the trustees to convert the tenancy premises in to ownership by paying mutually agreed amount but it did not work out. In 2007 the trust sold the building to a land mafia without even giving us the opportunity and it was kept secret by the buyer as well as trustees. When we approached Charity Commissioner he did not give us a response and what we got was vague replies in order to keep us in dark and delay the matter. We have copies of correspondence with the trust as well as Charity Commissioner. In order to throw us out the land mafia having political support is neither repairing the building nor allowing us to repair it. All our efforts have failed. But it clearly established the criminal nexus of Trust, Buyer and the Charity Commissioner and there may be many more such buildings which have been bought from such trust by land mafia.

We therefore want to file a PIL but understand none of the tenant can do so as he is interested party. We therefore seek help of people who are against such activities which will throw tenants out of the premises with out giving them the chance to buy it.

Pl. help and also provide formats, if any for such PIL with the guidelines. Thanking you in advance for your help. We are willing to bear the cost.

Dear MR Agarwal.

in this case PIL is not maintainable on ur part as u have interest in the litigation....u can file a civil suit for cancellation of sale deed in represntative capacity as the property of public trust can not be sold.

secondly u can move to rent tribunal of ur city for injunction and permission for repairs...no one evict you without fowloing the due process of law.

Sir, With due respect to you the building is already sold by the public trust in a secret and fraudulent manner without giving a chance to the tenents to buy out their premises. I know being a interested party I can not file a PIL but the our dilema is that none of the NGO who can file the PIL is coming forward may every one talks of social justice and fair deal but end up doing nothing of the sort in real practice.
