SEND HIM A LEGAL NOTICE FOR PAYMENT OF RENT AND TERMINATE THE TENANCY AND IF DONT GET RENT IN TIME FILE A SUIT FOR EVICTION.

You terminate the tenancy and demand payment of arrears of rent and you can proceed for eviction through Court of Law or Rent Controller.

SEND A LEGAL NOTICE. WAIT FOR REPLY. THE TENENT WILL EXPLAIN HIS STAND. THEN DECIDE WHETHER TO TERMINATE THE TENENCY WITH DUES OF RENT FOR REASONS STATED IN ACT.

he residing and paying rent since 20 years, it deemed to be an acceptance and agreement by performance. so he can not have any ownership rights over that rented shop. for that you can get the arrears by serving a legal notice with specified duration to pay, and then you can file a petition for eviction in the court of law.
