Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that upon revocation of agency, the agent's authority to act for the principal is terminated unless coupled with an interest as per Section 202 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872. The Court clarified that the agent cannot interfere with the principal's business activities after termination, and the principal has the right to take possession of the property as per the contract terms. The appeal was allowed, reinstating the temporary injunction against the respondent to prevent interference with the company's business.
