We have a rented shop at Parel under the pagdi system running a tailoring shop since 1960's. The rent receipt is in the name of my grand mother. My grand mother, along with my father is running the tailoring business since 1960's. In 1980-1981, my grand mother retired from the shop as she was very old (apprx 75 years of age at that time). The Gumastha was in the name of my grand mother which she transfered in my fathers name only in 2003. All electrit bill, telephone bills are in the name of our shop & not in any individual name.
My grand mother died in 2006. Now, in 2013, our Pagdi building is going for re-development. my father has 4 sisters, all elder to him, & all married before 1985. All the sisters are living with their husbands & were never associated with the shop business ever.
Will the Tenancy right be transfered in my fathers name or can the sisters claim a right in this property.
It is very easy to prove occupancy in a residential tenanted primise by way of Ration card, voters card, electrict bill, telephone bills etc, but in a shop, all bills are in the name of the shop & is not in individual name. My father was always present in the shop since 1965 but how can he prove his occupancy? can fathers sisters have a share in the premise?
please advise.
