Dear Sirs.
I am a landlord of a tenated building governed under the old tenancy laws of Mumbai.
One of the tenants who had no children died ten yrs ago.After his death his wife also expired and they had no children.
On the death of his wife her family members came and did the cremation etc and gave the keys of the room to us.
3 - 4 yrs later after the above incident one person claiming to be the adopted son of this couple appeared and claimed the possession of the room and the tenancy as a heir .
In support of his claim he had copies of a ration card with his name showing the address of the couple.
As for adoption papers he had none except that he has a unprobated will of the Male menber of the deceased family wherein it is sated that this person is adopted by him.
my querry is
1) Cn the protected tenancy devolve on a adopted child/?
2) If so what is the proof required to establish adoption?
3) Does a mere mention in a will that xyz is adopted is sufficient to prove adoption?
4) what are the documents required to prove that xyx was adopted?
