Hello,

I am staying at Malad Mumbai in Chawl System which was built in the year 1959, on the Pagadi system.

There are Fifteen double Rooms. It is built by One Mr. Asnudas Jhaveri in his Wife’s name Gomibai Asnudas Jahveri.

The Couple Has a Total of Six children four Son and two daughters as per my knowledge, currently As per my Knowledge One Son and Children of all other siblings and children of this children that is great grandchildren are there.  It id expected that currently there should be all together twenty-five to thirty heirs of This Asnudas Jhaveri should be there.

From the Tenant side also some left when an Old Person was living in the world, and some left after the death of both above couple’s namely Gomibai and Asnudas Jhaveri.

After The Death of the Couple and their three son and two daughters at start one daughter’s son was collecting the rent and transferring money then after as per the grandson’s internal management or say their understanding the Elder Grand Son who is the son of Elder son of Asnudas and Gomibai Jhaveri Stepped In and till Date he is collecting the Rent and Transfer money if somebody sale the Room.

Meanwhile from the Tenant Side also those who did not sell the room and their children are currently holding the room but most rooms are either in the name of the original holder or the original holder’s wife’s name which is the deceased rantee name that appears on the Rent Receipt.

After 1959 and after the year 2000 two time buildings were repaired but none of the Grandchildren who claims as they are the owners did not  participated in repairing the building as per instruction of the Municipality and prevailing law for an old building in Maharashtra and Mumbai.

Recently due to an old building and two times repairs those who are room owners and those who are legal heirs of room owners decided to meet and take the initiative to transform this building into a flat system as again and again repairing is not feasible, we informed the person who collects rent and transfers money but we received answer NO.

Now we have come to understand that after the death of both Gomibai and Asnudas Jhaveri did not nominate any son or daughter or any grandson to inherit the property after their death.  Neither their son nor daughter or son-in-law claimed the property for applying succession certificate in the absence of nomination, the question of will does not arise at all.

As per the Government Record, The property is still in the name of the late Smt. Gomibai Asnudas Jhaveri.

Now what action we Room Owner can take to transform this property, needs to know from any expert.
