The new landlord can continue the case. But you have not said for what reason the landlord has filed case against your father-in-law to vacate. If it is for his personal bonafide requirement of the premises, then new landlord cannot use that reason in the case and will ultimately fail in the eviction suit.

Agree, nothing more to add.

You need to mention name of state where the shop is located.

Also you need to tell if it is covered under
some rent Act of the state?
