Case filed under Bombay rent act in 1999 for eviction of a tenant on the ground of unauthorised addition and alteration. Original tenant expired and in 2018 his son substituted as defendant.
Son has acquired ownership flat in September 2019.

Doctrine of Relation Back is a principle that something done today will be treated as if it were done earlier. This doctrine is applied under certain circumstances. You need to consult a local lawyer for your matter and the lawyer will assess your matter further before suggesting a legal solution.
