You may send a legal notice of eviction on the ground of default in rent payment.

After the notice period you need to file an eviction suit and claim the outstanding rent in civil court.

Please be aware that court fee at the applicable rate will be required to file this suit but you may claim interest and legal charges in the suit.

1. it is not clear whether they have taken physical possession of the roof or they have vacated the same.

2. if they have vacated the premises then there is no point in chasing after them and make a new lease with another lessee.

3. if not then send them an eviction notice claiming quitting the premises and payment of arrears rent.

4. if they do not then filing the eviction suit will be the only option left.

1. Did your father enter in to any agreement with that network Company before allowing it to erect tower on his prop[erty?

 

2. If yes, then is there any clause for terminating the agreement in case default in making the payment by the said company? Is there any clause about payment of interest of arrear payments?

 

3.  If the Company has shut down its operation without terminating the contract, your father  can  file a Recovery Suit claiming the arrears payment with interest, damage and cost. The property of the Company can be sought to be attached before the case is disposed of.

 

4. Additionally, your father can lodge a police complaint against the MD and other officials of the said Company for cheatin  your father  by running away without paying the rent to him as peer the agreement.

you should issue legal notice to evacuate the rented premises and also demand the pending rent. Later if he didn't comply the notice you have to sue him in competent court..

You file an eviction suit in which you can demand even the arrears of rent to be paid by the company.

An eviction suit will be the proper action in this regard since the company has defaulted in rental payments.
