1. Though you have paid Rs.50K towards Pagdi, you are a tenant & not the owner,

2. The legal heirs of the shop can very well file an eviction suit against you which also can be contested by you,

3. The best way for you shall be to buy the shop for which you shall have to convince both the owners,

4. Offer some more money to the reluctant owner to lure her to agree to sell the shop.
