Neeraj Kapoor vs Ranbir Singh Dahiya And Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the dispute over lease rights under the Haryana Municipal Act, 1973, specifically Section 246, which allows for cancellation of lease transfers. The Court held that the Deputy Commissioner's order cancelling the lease in favor of the first respondent was valid, as the application for lease transfer by the appellant was made under the operative 1991 policy, not the expired 1984 policy. The Court ultimately set aside the High Court's dismissal of the appellant's writ petition, thereby restoring the Deputy Commissioner's order.
