Dear Client,
You are not paying rent since 1990, so tenancy deemed expired long bank. By principal of adverse possession, you have acquired actual ownership in the property, If property will go for redevelopment through court declaration, you will acquired actual ownership or otherwise owner have to accept your tenancy.
landlord never transferred rent receipt in your name
2) as and when you purchase from tenant landlord consent is necessary to transfer tenancy in your name
3) in event of re development you would not get ownership rights of flat ion your name
4) you have not mentioned how your FIL paid Rs one lakh by cash or cheque
5) was any receipt issued by landlord for Rs 1 lakh paid to him
The property is in your adverse possession since 1990 since no rent is paid plus no tenancy is transferred so you cannot be treated as tenants but you have the adverse possession over the property in case the building goes for the redevelopment you can ask amount or share for leaving possession as you can based on adverse possession file a suit and take a stay.
Further the amount you paid to builder is cash or by cheque ???
we have paid by cash, and no reciept takent for 1 lakh rs
Procure some evidence of payment else it will be gone.
Then in that case you can lodge a FIR against the land lord for cheating and taking amount and not transferring tenancy. You should have to give proof of same that such amount was given.
but if we are staying form last 50 years , is we are in safe tenant , because we discused with some people and laywer they said that we are there form 50 years the landlrd cant take out us, and we can suit file in court for tenentship
1) You Can contact to 1st tenant family members for transfer of property.
You have no evidence of payment of any money to landlord
Why tenant ship, should file suit for declaration of ownership on the basis of long undisputed peaceful possession.
Sir since no rent is paid you cannot be treated as tenant instead you have adverse possession over the property.
You can take defence of adverse possession as defence
2) you have been in open , continuous and uninterrupted possession of property for over 12 years
3) don’t claim tenancy rights
This is my response to you:
1. Since you have been staying there for 50 years and you have evidence to support the same, then you should not face problem;
2. The transfer amount demanded is very large;
3. You can file a formal complaint to the rent control authority;
4. Also if you file a suit for declaration of right, title and interest in the property, nobody can evict you;
5. Make sure you get the tenantship of the same, which will help you when it goes into redevelopment.
1. Any payment made in Cash to anybody has no legal value, unless and until the opposite party documentarily agrees to it.
2. It is true that you have become Tenant by virtue of the criteria "adverse possession" since more than 30 years and that too evict you, the legitimate land-lord has to follow due procedure of law, which will be very very difficult, in the current situation.
3. It is also true that, based on above point no. 2, you will be able to file suit for permanent tenantship, by following due procedure of law.
4. Even if the building goes for redevelopment, the Land Lord has to come to you for settlement and then you can negotiate with me across the table, which shall certainly be in your favor.

Since the rent receipts were issued in the name of the previous tenant and also ever since thee year 1990 no rent was paid, there are very bleak chances to claim tenancy rights.
As per law, if the landlord initiates steps for eviction, your father in law cannot do anything about it because there is no evidence in his side except that he had been living there.
we have paid by cash, and no reciept takent for 1 lakh rs
It means you do not have any evidence even for the cash paid.
You may be fighting a losing battle if you are going to pursue the issue.
On the basis of other residential proofs namely ration card, electricity consumption bills, water tax receipts, aadhar card etc, you may put up a fight to claim tenancy and injunction against the landlord from forcibly evicting you other than due process of law.
