Rights of tenant

Facts of the case: a) Party X and family are tenants in a residential property R for 60+ years b) Party X started their tenancy with Party B c) Party B was not the actual owner and R was "gifted" to B by Party A, without any registered gift deed. d) B kept on collecting the rent from X in the meantime e) Party A later filed a title suit in the district court and won f) The rent is being collected by A since then g) It is a rumor that B has filed an appeal in the High Court h) X has incurred all the maintenance expenses all throughout this period i) X is willing to purchase the property or vacate the property after being compensated. j) Neither the owner nor the tenant has shown any interest so far in settling down the matter k) B still looks to occupy the property but has never approached X with an offer. What are the steps that can be taken by X to break the deadlock and proceed further? If there has been no appeal in the high court, can B come up with any other legal action? If there is any appeal filed in the High Court, what are the remedies available with X to settle down the matter? Thanks in Advance

Please understand that the open forum is not a suitable place to seek guidance on chronic and complicated cases.  Forum can only guide on limited cases to limited extent as First Aid.  Trust a local advocate and get his opinion for such remedy.

Deeply regretted.

The posting contains ore of conjectures than facts. And there is no specific issue for which solution is sought.

The matter of ownership has to be settled between A & B as it is their private matter, party X is a tenant and has no say in the matter. Party X can purchase only if the owners are willing to sale the property. Party X can not ask any compensation for the premises as it does not belong to him, residence of a number of years does not give any tenant any right whatsoever over the property.

Dear All,

My friends rented a vacant plot and constructed on the plot with permission from the owner. The construction is one of a permanent nature. The question is whether the landlord is liable to pay the amount spent by the tenant in construction of the building in case of termination of the agreement by the landlord?

Kishor Mehta (CEO)     11 March 2021

It will depend on the nature and terms &conditions of the agreement entered into by the parties.
