MADAN LAL vs BHAI ANAND SINGH & ORS.

The Supreme Court held that under Section 108(q) of the Transfer of Property Act, a lessee is bound to deliver possession to the lessor upon the expiry of the lease, unless expressly stated otherwise in the lease agreement. The Court found that the lease did not provide for postponing the lessor's right to possession until the market value was determined, thus affirming the High Court's interpretation that the lessees had no right to retain possession after the lease term. The appeal was dismissed, confirming the lessor's entitlement to possession immediately upon lease expiration.
