The Supreme Court held that the Licence Agreement between the Airport Authority of India and M/s Golden Chariot Airport is not irrevocable, as per the terms outlined in the agreement, particularly clauses 26 and 29, which stipulate conditions for termination and applicability of the Public Premises (Eviction of Unauthorised Occupants) Act, 1971. The Court clarified that the licensee does not acquire any permanent rights over the premises and emphasized the revocability of the license. The appeals by Mumbai International Airport Pvt.
