1) suit for eviction may take around 5 years to be disposed of depending upon pendency of cases on small causes court
2) in road widening only part of land in front of the house would be taken
3) it is better you reach an amicable settlement with tenants
4) pay them money for vacating premises
5) in alternative offer them ownership on redevelopment of building
Did you not conduct due diligence before purchasing to ensure that you get vacant possession of the property that you intend to purchase? Now a petition for eviction will have to be filed against the tenant to evict him from the property. It will be a lengthy process which may take years to culminate.
You should have got the vacant property at the time purchase itself.
You should have insisted on the vendor to get the property vacated by all the tenants and handover vacant possession.
Your hasty decision will cost you now more in the form of litigation, time and energy.
You issue legal notices to all the tenants stating that you have bought the property and since it is in the dilapidated condition, you would like to demolish the same hence they are instructed to vacate and handover vacant possession.
If the tenants are not complying or cooperating you may aproach court with an eviction suit against all those who revolt.
Consult a local advocate for further action and proceedings.

They cannot claim any right in the acquisition by the authorities or if the building collapses.
