There is four owners (say A, B, C,D)of a bulding. Rent is collected by two co-owners(A,B) as signature on the rent receipt is only of two co-owners(A,B). A legal notice is sent to the tenants of the building by the other two co-owners(C,D)that they have not received rent & as they are the owners of the property. Previouly, signature on the rent receipt were of A,B & C and after some time only signature of A & B were found on rent receipt. What legal action can be taken against the tenants & what is the remedy that tenants can have. Property is at Howrah (WB, India) under Howrah Municipal Corporation.

nothing adverse is going to happen to the tenants.
since the tenants have paid the rent against a valid receipts issued by one or two of the 4 landlords.
a tenant can not be help responsible for the mutual dispute among the landlords.
however, if there is some agreement which compels some particular mode of payment of rent by tenants then there could be some point in favour of landlord.
but equity and fair play will also come into picture.
