My father leased our land to Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd for a period of 50 years. The lease agreement is set to expire in 2017. There’s no mention of renewal or extension in the contract. Will they vacate the land after the lease period ends? I’m seeking guidance on this matter.

The lease agreement expires in 2017, and there’s no provision for renewal or extension. Based on Indian law, Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd is legally obligated to vacate the land upon lease expiry. You should consult a lawyer to confirm this and advise on further steps to ensure the land’s return.

My godown in India is rented to two partners running a flour mill. They started in November 2015, paying Rs. 8,000 per month, excluding electricity. Only one partner signed the agreement, but it wasn’t attested from February 2016. Now, they’re having a dispute and refusing to pay rent. The machinery belongs to the other partner who witnessed the agreement. How can I get my rent back and ensure the machinery’s safety?

I’m an MCA, Assistant Professor in Tumkur, Karnataka, working at SIT College. Back in August 2014, my ex-wife (a government medical officer) and I jointly purchased a home for 30 lakhs, registering both of us as owners. We also took out a joint loan with equal EMIs (around 16,000 each, totaling 32,000 per month). We got divorced in August 2016. The court ruled in my favor, preventing her from seeking maintenance due to her government job and assets. Since then, her parents (who were officially recognized as tenants paying 8,000 rupees per month) have stopped paying rent. They’re using their influence to try and force me out of my own home, and shockingly, they stopped paying their share of the loan EMI after the divorce judgment. Attorneys have quoted a hefty court fee of 14.5%, which is about 2.5 lakhs, a sum I can’t afford. Could you please suggest a practical solution that I can manage?

My apartment building owner hasn’t paid the delayed rent penalty for the past 3 years. I moved in last month after registering, but the electricity hasn’t been connected despite applying for it. Now, the owner wants us to sign a proposal form to form an association, but amenities are incomplete and only 12 out of 15 floors are finished. What should I do?

My family and I signed a lease agreement with the father of the homeowner, but the electricity bill for the past three years is in his name. I paid a full deposit of 6.5 lakhs to him, but due to a medical emergency with my wife, we couldn’t move in. I immediately informed the landlord about this and asked to cancel the lease. He’s returned 4 lakhs, but is holding back the remaining 2.5 lakhs, asking for more time. What legal options do I have to recover the remaining amount? How long would this process take, and what are the estimated costs involved?
