I have one shop which is given on rent to our family friends son for doing business by my father.Their is no agreement executed for the shop it's just verbal communication between both family. We also take rent in cash. The light bill was paid by tenant The shop given on rent in the year 2001. When in the year 2009 we want get shop back from them.They said we will vacant in the next year. In the year 2010 we don't take rent for 6 month to make him defaulter for the rent,on the basis of that we think he should vacant the shop. But unfortunately he make a case on inter pleader suit on us. saying we are not legal owner of shop. he had rent agreement with other which is owner of shop. He also claim that we are damaging his business and asking for money illegally from him .
In the court he claim for who is actual owner. The rent he claim in court is INR2500/- pm. But actual rent we are taking INR 8000/-pm.Whom he was calming as legal owner of the shop, is actuality son of seller of property to us. In the year 2013 we got tenant sales tax certificate through RTI. In which he has mention us as actual owner of property.Currently case is ongoing .

Tenant sales tax certificate duly signed by tenant would help you in proving that you are actual owner of property as per tenant own admission. The suit filed by tenant that you are not the owner of property is false and bogus suit filed by him.

The mistake you made was entering into oral agreement and taking rent in cash from tenant and giving him possession of property without any legal safeguards.

I presume you have bought the property by registered sale deed . you have mentioned that light, electricity, water bills are in your name.

Issue legal notice to tenant to vacate the property. File suit for eviction against tenant. The court may direct clubbing of both suit together
file case of cheating, criminal breach of trust etc, against tenant, sister in law.
