There must be termination clause in your lease deed . if there is such a clause issue notice of termination of lease 

 

2) if there is no such clause you cannot unilaterally terminate lease if lessee. has not committed breach of contract 

 

3) it is necessary to peruse lease deed to advice further

1. Lease Agreement in such cases can be cancelled ONLY with the mutual consent of the Petrol Bunk co., by paying off all the relevant compensations and hardships incurred by the Co. in setting up of the petrol station. This can also be done IF there is any violation of the lease agreement, immoral /criminal activities etc.... 

2. Lease Rent CANNOT be linked to interest rates in anyway, whatsoever, since lease rent is under a contract /agreement which is mutually agreed and contracted.  However you can re-negotiate the lease deed and put new amended clauses relating to time period and increase in rent.

1. With the purchase of the land along with lessee yo have stepped into the shoes of previous landlord and hence you are bound b all the encumbrances the land is fastened with.

2. So if the lease is made for 30 years and there is no breach of terms of lease in the meantime no suit of eviction can be filed against the lessee nor the deed of lease can be unilaterally cancelled by you.

3. The rate of rent is to be imposed and collected as per the terms of deed of lease and you can not again make any increase  on rent without the consent of the lessee.

You can file a eviction suit in this case based on your lease agreement about any vacation clause after giving notice

1. The case against the petrol bunk may not be maintainable, the registered lease agreement cannot be cancelled as per your whims especially in the absence of breach of any agreement/contract conditions.

2. There is no such thumb rule on this because they have entered into the lease agreement even before you purchased this land and you have agreed and accepted the lease between the petrol bunk and the previous vendor hence you cannot claim anything beyond that.

NO.

Lease deed is existing prior to your purchase. You are bind by lease terms. how much the rent is, it was decided mutually by parties. 

No relief from court until opposite party defaults lease terms. otherwise only through mutual settlement.

try to convince the lessee also to get the lease deed cancelled stating that the same would be illegal and both the parties would be in trouble. Otherwise you might have to pay compensation cost.

No Chances of winning the case are very low if they are not breaking any rules. 

You should send him a legal notice for vacating land to give it a try.
