State Of U.P. & Ors vs United Bank Of India

The Supreme Court upheld the Allahabad High Court's decision allowing the writ petition of United Bank of India, which sought to quash a show cause notice and prevent the cancellation of a lease for property no. 19, Clive Road, Allahabad. The Court emphasized the necessity of adhering to the Government order dated 4.12.1998 regarding the conversion of leasehold rights into freehold. The Court directed the respondents to accept the application for conversion and renew the lease, reinforcing the legal principle that lease rights must be respected as per statutory provisions.
