Dear Client

In India, if you want to evict a tenant from a commercial property, you can file an Eviction Suit under the relevant state-specific Rent Control Laws or the Transfer of Property Act, 1882. Here are some key points to consider:

Eviction Suit Timeline:

The timeline for filing an Eviction Suit can vary depending on several factors, including court procedures and the specific circumstances of your case.
Generally, it's advisable to start the process as soon as possible, especially if the tenant is in unauthorized possession of the property after the lease has expired.
The specific timeline for your case can be provided by a legal expert who is familiar with local court procedures.
Cost of Filing an Eviction Suit:

The cost of filing an Eviction Suit may include court fees, legal fees, and other incidental expenses.
The exact cost can vary based on the property's value and location and the lawyer's fees. It's best to consult with a lawyer for a precise estimate.
Validity of Email Notices:

Indian courts generally prefer physical service of notices as opposed to electronic means like email. However, laws and practices may evolve over time.
While email notices may not be considered a valid method of service in most cases, you can still use them as supplementary evidence to show that you attempted to inform the tenant about the eviction.
Consult with a legal expert to understand if there have been any recent developments in the acceptance of email notices in your jurisdiction.
Establishing Service When Notices Are Returned:

If notices served by Speed Post are returned undelivered, you should retain these returned notices as evidence of your attempt to serve them.
You can also consider alternative methods of service, such as publishing notice in local newspapers or affixing the notice to a conspicuous part of the property, with court permission.
Consult with a lawyer to explore the best course of action in your specific situation.
To proceed with an Eviction Suit, you should engage a local lawyer who specializes in property and real estate matters. They will guide you through the legal process, help you draft the necessary legal documents, and represent you in court if required

If the eviction notice was returned undelivered then nothing forbids you from filing the eviction suit to evict the tenant who is overstaying in the premises even after the expiry of the lease period, actually, he can be evicted for default in payment of monthly rental amount as well as he can be termed as an illegal occupier or trespasser for staying in the property without any proper authority 

What were you doing without proceeding to the court of law for initiating an eviction suit after the year 2012 till this date.

You were not worried about this inordinate delay that took place to take any action but you seem to be worried about the timeline for disposal of the case.

The time taken for disposal cannot be predicted including the lawyer's fee.

You can consult the same lawyer who sent the eviction notice about the fee and and other aspects including incidental  expenses.

The returned undelivered legal notice is a proof of the steps taken to serve the notice to the tenant becasue it was sent to the tenant to his last known address.

If you still want to send the notice by email, then you can attach the copy of the email to the suit for eviction.

• However, since your case involves a lease that has expired and not been renewed, you may have to file a suit for recovery of possession under the Transfer of Property Act, 1882 (the TPA), which governs the transfer of immovable property in India. The TPA provides that a lease of immovable property determines by efflux of time limited thereby, unless a contrary intention appears from the terms of the lease. Therefore, if your lease deed does not contain any clause for renewal or extension of the lease, you can claim possession of your property after the expiry of the lease term.

The amount of court fees and stamp duty will depend on the value of your property and the relief claimed by you. You can consult your lawyer for more details on this.
