You can approach the High court if the notice properly served or other wise you can approach for district court. The eviction is for public purpose. So the acquisition is necessary for road development and you have bound to vacate the premises. The rent agreement is not renewed, so it easy to take a stand of the municipal authority for the reason for eviction.

3) if so you are a protected tenant

4) you should file detailed reply to notice

5) engage a local lawyer and appear for personal hearing

6) if eviction order is passed all tenants should move court and seek stay of eviction proceedings

1. The shopkeepers who are aggrieved by the notice issued by the MC can challenge the same in the civil court, but it needs to be remembered that if the MC has refused to renew the agreement the shopkeepers are legally obligated to vacate the shops.

2. MC is under no duty of law to rehabilitate those shopkeepers with whom it has decided to not to renew the agreement.

Immediately file a civil suit for injunction against the MC before Civil Judge Senior Division of area where the property is situated under Order 39 rule 1 & 2 of CPC.

It will be better to contact a lawyer with all the documents personally or over the phone, it will be better to get best advise.
