Board Of Trustees Of Port Of Kandla vs Hargovind Jasraj & Anr

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of Civil Second Appeal No.17 of 2007, affirming the lower courts' decisions regarding the termination of a long-term lease due to the lessee's failure to pay rent as stipulated in the lease-deed. The Court emphasized that the lessee's request to resell the property and seek a refund did not absolve her of the lease obligations under the relevant clauses. The Court ruled that the appellant-Port Trust was justified in taking possession of the land after the lease was terminated, thus denying the lessee's claim for injunction against the proposed re-auction of the plot.
