Possession suit filed by Pagdi Landlord to evict us.

My father had bought a pagdi flat in Mumbai in 1984. After he passed away my mother and we siblings were residing there, and my mother was paying the rent to the landlady through her cheques. Since 2008 we have been living with a relative without paying any rent. We visit that house occasionally but it is largely vacant. We go there for a day or two sometimes have stayed there for months too. The landlady stopped taking rent from us but we paid other building maintenance charges. Now she has filed a possession lawsuit against us. We don't have any other residential property and all are documents are of that address too. We have electric connection and all bank correspondences of that address. What are our chances in such a scenario. If we go and start living there will it help?? Also she has made allegations that we have made changes to the house, left it in desrepair, etc which are all untrue. The house is nicely painted and has our furniture and things too. We had a meeting with her about selling the house, and would pay her her 1/3 share. To which she had agreed. But now in that suit she has asked the court to refrain us from selling the property as we may have ulterior motives!! She has been taking possession of several flats in the building by paying the tenants lower price than what is due or bullying them all together. She wants to have us evicted. Please advice

Power of attorney

Respected all,

My friend father has signed a Notary Document titled as "Power of Attorney" and the same has handover to third party of land dispute settler for the settlement of their land from others. This matter no other family member known. In the document it has mentioned that if the land settlement done by the third party, they will be entitled for half of the share of their entire property. Actually the property they acquired from their forefathers. Now the question is the document is valid without any registration and without having their other family members consent. The third party person took his father to Notary Advocate and given his consent. Kindly clarify,

Help us.

Non practicing advocate

i had enrolled with a state bar council in 2005 but have never practiced in court nor was engaged in any other profession / vocation. I depended on family earnings and due to my mothers ill health and disablement had to nurse her and look after the family. Now my mother is showing improvement in health and I would like to start practicing law as my profession; knowing well that 10 years of my life has gone away and I am ridiculously late in joining my profession. Given the present rules of practicing will I be entitled to get certificate of practice? If not how can I pursue the authorities or what should be my course of action? Please guide me.
Regards,Reena

Pagdi system - commercial use

Hi,

I hold a room in a pagdi system chawl since 3 and 1/2 years. Since last 6 months I have rented it to a friend who is a CA and he is using it for practicing his profession. There are 5 rooms including mine, out of which, 4 are being used as commercial.
Now, the landlord says that everyone needs to vacant the room from commercial usage, or else the BMC swill seal the rooms.
He has been saying this since last 6 months but no action yet. But now, he has brought some bmc papers (assesment report) and says that we have to pay some penalty. However, when I checked the papers, they seem to be a notice of tax payment pending from his side towards BMC (we have been paying the rent on time to the landlord). The landlord also says that they will come for isnpection on 10th sept and if the room is still in commercial use, they will seal the room.

I want to know just 2 things:
1. Can BMC officials seal the room in this case?
2. Should we pay the penalty amount he is demanding?

Please help
