My shop in Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh has been locked by the landlord after the lease expired three years ago. He returned my rent payments and demanded I vacate the premises. A court order granted a stay, but the landlord claims it won’t allow me to reopen. Can I continue operating my business under the stay order until a higher court rules? Is there a chance he could still refuse to unlock the shop despite the stay order?

Under Indian law, a stay order is legally binding and prevents the landlord from taking any action to disrupt your possession of the shop. While the landlord’s claim is incorrect, it is advisable to consult with a lawyer to ensure your rights are protected and to initiate legal action against the landlord for non-compliance with the stay order.
