Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the appellant's appeal regarding the termination of a lease under Clause 4 due to the lessee's failure to pay rent, as per the terms of the lease deed. The Court emphasized that the lessee's request to resell the property and obtain a refund did not absolve her from the obligations under the lease. The Court affirmed the lower courts' decisions, holding that the appellant-Port Trust was justified in taking possession of the land after the lease was terminated, thereby rejecting the lessee's claim for permanent injunction.
