Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that acceptance of rent by the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) after the expiration of the lease does not automatically constitute a renewal of the lease under the Delhi Development Act, 1957, specifically referencing Section 60. The Court established that the lessee must comply with the terms of the lease for renewal to be valid, and the DDA's termination of the lease was upheld due to breaches of lease conditions. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision.
