To answer your query about filing of any new case,all the case papers are required to be examined. You have not mentioned when his son and widow came into possession of the same.Prima facie, their presence in the premises may be termed as licencee, depending upon what stand you have taken in the suit and what defence they have put therein, licence can be terminated and suit for eviction and possession with mesne profit may be filed subject to law of limitation.

1)your earlier case of trespass has been rejected in 1996 on grounds that tenant is not responsible for acts of his son . no appeal has been filed and said order has attained finality.

2)on death of tenant his wife and son have been added as party in suit filed for eviction of tenant .

3) unless and until fresh incidents of trespass have occured it would be difficult for you to make out a case .

Dear client,

1. Any fresh suit of trespassed property/ whole property cannot be filed at present as it is time barred by limitation act.

2.File amendment application under order 6 rule 17 of cpc read with section 151 of cpc in the pending eviction case stating therein to include trespassed property in the full tenanted property because you have already added the widow and son of dead tenant as defendants in said eviction case and pray for eviction of present tenants from whole of tenanted property.

1. Instead of filing a fresh case the plaintiff should have gone in for an appeal in the higher court against the order of the lower court dismissing his case. No appeal was filed by him. Fresh case for the earlier incident of trespass cannot be filed now.

2. The only legal recourse open to remedy the trespass is to file a police complaint for trespass and then file a fresh case for trespass in respect of a new occurrence of trespass within the limitation period as from the date of trespass. This being said, proving trespass is never easy as specific evidence would have to be led.

3. Pendency of eviction suit in the trial court since 1965 is very unusual. Discuss the issue with your lawyer and let him chalk out a legal strategy which will subserve your interests.

you can file an application under the act of rent control act, since the act is available to be avail than no other remedy should be availed. As the matter is related to rented premises and the dispute is in between tenant and land lord, than only rent control tribunal is the place whose before you can file an application for eviction on the ground of non payment or necessary need indeed.

Other option may led you to futile exercise and can harass financially too.

Hence contact to best advocate of your area and file the application asap.
