State Of Jharkhand & Ors vs Ashok Kumar Chokhani & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of the validity of a lease agreement under the provisions of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, specifically Section 106, which governs the duration of leases. The Court held that a lease can be terminated by giving notice as prescribed under the Act, and failure to do so renders the termination invalid. The judgment emphasized the necessity of adhering to statutory requirements for lease termination, thereby reinforcing the legal principle that compliance with procedural norms is essential for the validity of lease agreements.
