Fraudulently signed gift deed who is the new owner for the tenant
24-Apr-2023 (In Civil Law)
Dear sir I am residing as tenant in Delhi. This is a company provided leased accomodation. I am living here from last 4-5 years. Monthly rent was regularly paid till Nov. 2016 in favour of landlady by my company. In September. 2016 landlady gifted her property to her dougher in law and there is proper gift deed and duly registered in registrar office. As new owner submitted the gift deed and demanded monthly rent in his favour from Dec. 2016. In good faith(registered gift deed) , company started depositing money in favour of new owner from Dec 2016. Meanwhile old owner filed a case against new owner that gift deed was got froudulantly signed and asked the court to declare in null n void and also asked for the permanent injunction apart from this a notice was also served by the old owner to my company to deposit the monthly rent in her account or vecant the premises as gift deed is froudulantly signed( we have replied to this notice that we are not liable to you as there is valid gift
Firstly, I hope that after gift deed was signed between both parties you were informed in writing by the original owner to pay further rent in the account of new owner. In case there is no communication with regard to same you shouldn't have proceed to pay rent without original owner information. If you can establish that original owner was well informed about payment of rent to new owner after signing of gift deed she cannot ask you to pay the rent paid during that time till she approach Court. You should also stop payment of rent immediately to both side and deposit same in Court till final order passed. The burden is on original owner to prove her case before Court. You should reply in Court about your innocence and ask for Court permission to deposit rent in Court and also asked Court to direct the new owner to refund the amount till pending of case.

Till the pendency of the case you can stop giving the rent to any of the owners as the case is in the court. You can forward the same to both the persons claiming to be owner of the house. Let the court decide the ownership of the house and then you can pay the rent accordingly
