Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Delhi High Court's decision regarding the misuse of property by the respondent, emphasizing the violation of clause II(13) of the Lease Deed. The Court reiterated that the DDA had the authority to issue Show-Cause Notices under the terms of the lease for any contravention, and the respondent's failure to rectify the misuse justified the cancellation of the lease. The judgment reinforced the principle that lease agreements must be adhered to strictly, and non-compliance can lead to termination of the lease.
