Dear Advocate M J,

Are you not aware of the fact that, as an advocate you can not do business, besides your practice?

An Advocate can not do other business.

Full language of the agreement need to be referred.

you cannot do business while practicing as lawyer as already advised by experts. if you want cancel the registered lease, both the lessee and lessor may execute surrender of lease. the registration rates to be paid as applicable in your state.

You might not be doing business in your name. Anyway, you should first get the lease-agreement rescind from the sub-joint registrar wherein the same was registered and thereafter assess the value of the credit and infrastructure which the tenant has incurred and accordingly pay him if you have to take over the business for ever otherwise better to execute the agreement as per settled terms but not in your name rather of any other member of your family as you are barred by Advocates Act, 1961 to do any business.
