This query is : Resolved
I am one of tenant in a chawl whose ownership is claimed by three individuals.
1. Mrs. Mk ( she is the original Landowner on record since 1954 , name included in 7/12 record .
2. Mr. J ( Lease holder for 98 years , since 1970 ), he has been collecting the rent from the tenants since 1971.....by issuing a rent receipt which is in the name of a " ABC " pvt ltd. company. (Register Lease is signed in between Mrs. MK & ABC company ). Mr. J was one of the 4 Directors of the ABC Company. Which was registered under company act in year 1954.
This company was declared as dormant since 2002. Mr. J is nomore now, he died in year 2010. Now his son Mr. A is collecting the rent on behalf of his dad.
3. Mr. M who is owner of construction company has purchased this plot from the original owner MRs. Mk. and has reg. the conveyance deed . The PR Card as on today has his name.
Now my question is :
1. Whom should we pay the rent . Mr. A who is Son of Mr. J ( Lease Holder ).
2. Mr. M who is on PR Card record.
Both the parties are claiming for the rent .If we pay the rent to either one of them the other party files a case in court ( small cause for rent recovery .
Pls suggest a solution ...

Rent is very minor issue .
The construction co must have fixed some terms with tenants so that he can develop the property.
And the construction co may also have settled some terms with the lease holder.

1. The construction co has tried to get the concern for SRA development from the tenants , but no one is ready to give the concern to this developer because of his bad reputation in market .
2. The construction co tried to settle the matter with the lease holder but the settlement failed .
3. Non of the tenants have signed any tenancy agreement with the so called landlord. He has been just delivering the Rent receipt for the paid rent thats all.
4. Since no one was aware of the right owner of the property we just blindly kept on paying him the rent.
5. Even the actual Owner is not intrusted in the property since she has taken sanyas...( Sadhvhi ) .
