Have a firm and that is the only business i have, but my wife has a seperate business, in which I am not involved. i am fighting case with my landlord over a commercuial first floor property. the agreement we signed for rent was for 3 years. It has lapsed and after that the landlord gave us a eviction notice. we went to court and took a stay on eviction. now the landlord is fighting the case and and has shown his own need for starting a business from the site.
there are 6 individuals who are owners of the property. All are realives. out of that 2 of them have another vacant properties in close vicinity to my rented property.
my lawyer has said that in case of personal need of property, law is clear and landlord will win the case.
It is 16 months that the case has started> now we are on the stage of cross questioning. i have been regular in paying the rent.
what are my chances of winning the case>

You did not indicate the name of the State as the Rent Act differs from State to State. In West Bengal if the landlord has another premises then he does not succeed to get the tenanted premises vacated.
