Dear Sir
I am Prashant staying in tenanted one Room Kitchen at Grant Road.
"Our Room is still in the name of my Uncle". Uncle died in 1967 & his wife died in 1975 . Uncle is having two daughters .Both the daughters married in 1965 & went to their Husbands house.
My Father & Mother was staying with my Uncle since 1960 in the same Room. Uncle & my father are Brothers.
My father died in 1998 .
In 1998 , I had gone to landlord & request him to transfer the Rent Receipt in my mother's name but he refused.
1) Can I file a case against landlord ,for the transfer of Rent Receipt to my mother's name ?.
2) Now after 50 years two daughters of the uncle are saying that this is our room.
3) Can I completely Wash off (Remove) the Rights of my Uncle's Daughters ? , Since both of them are not staying here from last 50 Years.
Please Guide me.

Try to reach an understanding either with your cousins or the landlord.

Amicable settlement is recommended.
If not possible, discuss in detail with local lawyer and show him all the documents.

There must be a time limit. I feel that this case is now dbar.

1. THERE was a "privity of contract" between the Uncle (as tenant) and the Landlord, about the tenanted premises.
2. THERE is NO "privity of contract" between "prashant" and the Landlord, about the tenanted premises, hence "prashant" has NO legal rights on the tenanted premises, in any manner whatsoever, to the exception of "adverse possession", that too IF applicable and subject to certain parameters.
