The Supreme Court addressed the validity of leasehold rights under a perpetual lease granted by the President of India, emphasizing the necessity of obtaining written consent from the Lessor for any alterations, assignments, or business activities on the property as per the lease terms. The Court held that any breach of these covenants allows the Lessor to take remedial actions, including demolition of unauthorized structures. The judgment reinforced the binding nature of lease agreements and the authority of the Lessor in enforcing compliance with lease conditions.
