Land transferred to my father by my grandmother as gift deed

Since your father’s brother and his family have been staying on the land initially without a formal agreement and later under a rent agreement, here’s how you can approach the situation legally. Since your father has now transferred the land to you through a sale deed, you have full ownership rights, giving you the authority to request them to vacate the property. Start by serving them a formal eviction notice, clearly stating your request for them to leave the land. Mention that the initial permission to stay was informal and that, despite the subsequent rent agreement, the tenancy has now ended. Specify a reasonable deadline for vacating the property. If they refuse to vacate after the notice period, you can file an eviction suit in court. Since the property is legally in your name, and there is a rent agreement specifying terms for their stay, the court is likely to support your request, especially as there is no long-term lease or ownership claim from their side. Your chances of winning the case are strong, given your legal ownership and the fact that the initial arrangement was informal, followed by a temporary rent agreement. To ensure a smooth legal process, consult a lawyer who can help file the eviction suit and handle any defense they may present.
