Shubh Shanti Services Ltd vs Manjula S.Agarwalla & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the acquittal of the respondents under Section 630 of the Companies Act, 1956, stating that the respondents were not legally bound to vacate the flat after the death of Shri S.C. Agarwalla, as there was an assurance from the company regarding their continued occupation until an alternative accommodation was provided. The Court emphasized that the terms of employment and assurances made by the company must be honored, establishing that a mere death of an employee does not automatically terminate the right to occupy company-provided accommodation without due process. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision.
