The Supreme Court upheld the Bombay High Court's decision to quash the Municipal Corporation of Nagpur's resolution for lease renewal under Section 70(5) of the City of Nagpur Corporation Act, 1948, stating that the renewal process was not in accordance with the statutory provisions. The Court emphasized that the original lease conditions must be adhered to, and the authority's failure to follow due process invalidated the renewal. Consequently, the Court directed the Civil Judge to expedite the pending civil suit regarding the lease.
