Signed lease for 30 years dealer got land registered in his name


09-Feb-2023 (In Property Law)
In the year 2000 we have given land on lease to a HPCL dealer. In 2001, the dealer registered 480 sq yards of our land in his name given on lease. It was our forefathers property. Now we approached the dealer to give our land back and we are also wiling to pay for it. It is under lease for 30 years. What action can we take in this situation?

The suggestion would depend upon the terms in the lease deed for termination of the lease and rentry. From the query it appears that this is not case of simple lease where the lessor has leased his property to the lessee. Prima facie what was leased was only the land and the lessee has since made investment of capital and labour and as such is a the case of a lease coupled with interest.

The dealer cannot legally register your property in his name. If he has done that by using some fraud or forgery, it can be used as a ground to re-possess the land by evicting him from the land. Other ways to evict him to be decided only after seeing the lease agreement and you title deeds.

What is the specific clause regarding the withdrawal of lease agreement or termination of the agreement / You can only act as per the lease agreement.

You have to send a legal notice to Dealer and express your wish for cancellation of lease. Meet a local lawyer for more assistance or send a copy of the lease agreement to me for further clarifications
