My grandfather rented out a shop to a tenant many years ago, before any written agreements were made. The tenant’s son is now claiming ownership of the shop and refusing to vacate. We filed a case with the Rent Control Board, but he’s now claiming the shop is his. What are my best options in this situation?

Based on Indian law, you can present evidence of your grandfather’s ownership and the rental agreement, even if it was oral. The Rent Control Board can help resolve the dispute. You may also need to pursue a separate legal action to establish ownership if the tenant’s son’s claim is contested.

Previous Article My father wants to gift me a 200 sq yard plot in Chittaranjan Park, South Delhi. I’m curious about the exact stamp duty I’d need to pay. Could you tell me how much it would be if the property is registered in my name (male), or jointly with my wife, or in her name only?
Next Article I invested in the Homested Sohna Sector 215 project about two years ago. The project was soft launched, and I paid ₹9.5 lakhs for a 2 BHK apartment. However, the project hasn’t officially launched yet. Homested says they will refund my money without interest and provide a post-dated check four months after submitting my refund application. This means I’ll have to wait another six months to get my money back. Is it possible for me to get my money refunded with interest? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
