SHRI JANKI DEVI BHAGAT TRUST, AGRA vs RAM SWARUP JAIN (DEAD) BY LRS.

The Supreme Court held that the lease agreement between the appellant-trust and the respondent was valid despite not being registered, as it was not for a term exceeding one year, thus not requiring registration under Section 107 of the Transfer of Property Act. The Court affirmed the necessity of a fifteen-day notice for termination as per the terms of the lease, rejecting the respondent's claim for a six-month notice under Section 106. The appeal was allowed, and the High Court's decision to dismiss the suit for ejectment was overturned, while the claim for arrears of rent was upheld.
