You can take a Sabbatical from your company and file of fresh fiction petition on Grounds of Bonafide requirements to open a tuition centre in the premises ownerld by you.

The Supreme Court in Bhupinder Singh Bawa vs. Asha Devi, has upheld an order of eviction on the ground of bona fide requirement of tenanted premises for the business requirement of the son of the landlady.

In this case also, landlord/landlady required the premises for running business of his/her young son who is an MBA graduate and the supreme court ordered eviction.

You can file eviction petition against both the tenants on such grounds stating that allow space would be required in order to support the infrastructure of a coaching centre where number of students would come.

Hope this helped.

1) you can claim one tenancy premises for starting tuition center

2) it has to be proved that you need tenanted premises for carrying on your business of tuition center and you do not have any other alternative shop

1. Since your previous eviction petition was dismissed, you hav no option to file a fresh eviction on newly found grounds,instead you can prefer an appeal against the lower court judgment.

2. Since the property belongs to your father, he cannot show this a ground for evicting the tenant.

3. The eviction should b filed against both the tenants because it is not known that which portion will be required by you.

You can take tuition in your own property and not on a third person, i.e., your father's property, hence your father may not be eligible to claim retrieval of this property on this grounds.

He has to create some other grounds only, or else he can make a partition suit and allot this portion to you by the said deed.

After that you can seek to evict the tenant on the grounds you desire to
