U.O.I. vs S.J.THANAWALLA

The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal against the Bombay High Court's order regarding the renewal of a lease for salt works, emphasizing that title to the property is a condition precedent for such renewal. The Court upheld the High Court's decision to refrain from adjudicating on the title issue, as it was already decided by the Collector and was subject to an appeal. The Court directed the appellants to expedite the pending appeal, maintaining the interim order of the High Court until a final decision is reached.
