Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Deputy Commissioner under Section 246 of the Haryana Municipal Act, 1973, which cancelled the lease transfer to the first respondent and directed it to be granted to the appellant, the son of the deceased sub-lessee. The Court emphasized that the application for lease transfer should have been considered under the 1991 Policy, which was in effect at the time of the application. The dismissal of the appellant's writ petition by the High Court was overturned, affirming the appellant's rightful claim to the lease.
