Hi
We live in a Tenanted Flat in South Mumbai.
There are two landlord claiming to be the the Owners of the building.
Both the Landlords have filed a case in small causes court against us for payment if Rent & Eviction of our Flat. We are fighting in the court against both the Landlord. Both the Landlord are also Fighting the Case in High Court Mumbai for Possession of the building.
My Question is
1) How is it possible that Small Causes Court accept the case of both the Landlords against us since the property itself is in dispute.It is disturbing us since we have put money separately to fight both the cases.
2) Can Small Causes Court dismiss our both the cases since the High Court is yet to give its decision on who is the owner of the property
3) Further both the Landlord are harassing us to give Irrevocable Consent since both of them are interested in redevelopment of the property.
4) Both of them say they if we give them Consent they will withdraw the case. Further they are also harassing us by making false complaint against us in Police Stations for stupid reasons
5) How should we pay the Rent in this case
6) Can you advise on some good lawyers in Mumbai practicing in Small Causes Court South Mumbai
Thanking you for your Advise

you can deposit the rent in court pending hearing and final disposal of the case . small cause court will decide case on merits.
redevelopment of property is in your interest as you would get ownership rights of the flat
