Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision affirming the dismissal of Title Suit No. 19/92, which sought a declaration and permanent injunction against M/s. Development Consultants Ltd. The Court found that the tenancy agreement dated 30th March 1976 explicitly restricted the use of the premises to residential accommodation for a specific officer, and any change in use required written consent from the landlord. The Court ruled that the respondent's intention to allot the premises to another employee without consent violated the terms of the agreement, thus affirming the lower court's ruling.
