my father has a 5 sibling and they were living together in the municipal chawl apartment in dadar till the death of my grand father, who was having tenancy rights on his name. out of 5 siblings 2 are sisters who left that apartment after their marriage. after his death, in 1991 my father has moved out from that place and took other rental apartment nearby his office. The tenancy has not been transferred from the name of my grand father to any of its legal heir. while moving out of that place, my uncles assured my father, that his right in that place will remain unaffected. however, as the said place has gone under redevelopment scheme (not under SRA act), they refused to give anything to my father as they were having uninterrupted possession of rental premises. so my question is that, whether they can claim adverse possession under a purview of the said facts or we can claim our part in the said property under the provision of tenancy act.
