Reading: My grandfather bought a single room in a Jogeshwari Meghwadi chawl 30 years ago. He purchased it using a photo pass and rented it out for â‚¹25 per month. Later, the chawl was redeveloped with proper cement houses. Our tenant then started claiming ownership of the entire property, saying his room was vacant and the one he was occupying belonged to him. We won two court cases, but after the judge changed, things took a turn for the worse. My grandmother, who passed away 10 years ago, had given me power of attorney.

The tenant’s claim of ownership is baseless, as your grandfather legally purchased the room. The redevelopment doesn’t change the ownership, and your grandmother’s power of attorney grants you the authority to represent your family’s rights to the property. You should consult a lawyer to understand the current legal situation and proceed accordingly.
