you can request tenant to vacate premises as building is in dilapidated condition and can collapse any time

2) ask structural engineer for his written opinion

3) forward structural engineer report to tenant

4) inform municipal corporation about condition of building and structural enginner report

5) MC will direct tenants to vacate the premises

Since the building is very old and almost in dilapidated condition and also prone to earth quake attacks, you would require the building to be demolished and reconstructed.

This should be your reason to be given in the eviction notice to the tenant holding the shop on pagdi system, besides quoting the default in rental payments.

You can drag him to court also on the same grounds.

Will I get my shop that I given on pagdi

You first issue a legal notice asking him to vacate the shop for the reason of default in rental payment and also would require the premise for demolition and reconstruction, wait for his reply or reaction after which you can decide about further course of action on this.

Any other option please

Any other option means, no illegal option can be suggested other than due process of law.

You may consult a local advocate on this for further advise.
