My grandfather was one of five individuals who leased a land with a temple in Bangalore from the defense department. The lease was permanent. All the other lessees have passed away. Can I inherit the lease agreement and become the legal owner of the land?

In India, permanent leases can be inherited, but the process and rules vary depending on the specific lease agreement and applicable state laws. You would need to consult with a lawyer specializing in property law to determine if you can inherit the lease agreement and the specific steps required.
