Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the respondents were not entitled to terminate the lease granted to the appellant as there was no breach of the covenant. The Court found that the property was not used for purposes other than those intended, and any incidental use for cultural purposes did not detract from the educational purpose of the institution. The judgment of the Kerala High Court was set aside, and the appellant's rights under the lease were upheld.
