STATE OF U.P. vs ZAHOOR AHMAD & ANR.

The Supreme Court held that Section 116 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, applies even in cases involving the Government Grants Act, 1895. The Court found that the lease for a temporary rice mill did not constitute a government grant as defined under the Government Grants Act, and thus the respondent was deemed to have held over after the lease's termination. The High Court's decree was upheld, allowing the appellant to recover rent based on the previous lease terms, despite the State's contention that Section 116 was inapplicable due to the Government Grants Act.
