1. Within the sweep of the clause which you have extracted, the landlord is bound to construct a new shop and induct you as a tenant therein. If he does not do so then a suit for mandatory injunction can be filed against him by you in the competent civil court.

2. On the demise of your father his tenancy has been inherited by his legal heirs.

The registered rental or lease agreement will be valid till the expiration period even if the landlord expires before the expiration of the lease period.

You may have to wait for the the rental/lease agreement to come an end for initiating the legal process to evict the tenant from the rented property.

The conditions also will also remain in tact till the rental period is effective and valid.
