Legal Question in Real Estate Law in India

This is a very complicated issue but I need help from whatever sources I can find so I am here to ask anyone who can give us in-depth points, facts n figures or a similar case study wherein tenants have won legally against landlords

Here is the issue with 60/63 tenants of a bldg in suburban Mumbai

1) There are 2 Adjacent Plots - lets say plot A and Plot B

2) Person A has Leased both the plots to person B(landlord) in year 1968/70. Landlord constructs a bldg(pagri system) in year 1972 on Plot B and Plot A is PG(as per records till 2003)

3) Landlord in 2007 gives rights to a New Builder to construct Residential Bldg on Plot A(Earlier declared as PG). Can the landlord Sub-lease the plot for residential construction?

4) Can the New builder use existing FSI n TDR of Plot B(bldg still occupied by 60 tenants) for Plot A?

5) Can the New builder use Road of Plot B Bldg for Plot A construction since Plot A doesn't have any other road

6) What Rights does the existing 60 tenants have to stop the construction of bldg on Plot A?

Generally speaking tenants have no right to stop construction in their capacity as a tenant. The property does not belong to them.

To give a precise answer, one needs to examine all the documents, and then only one can answer your query appropriately.

Please contact a local lawyer, in you area for advise.
