The Supreme Court set aside the Madhya Pradesh High Court's judgment that annulled the renewal of a lease granted to Ajar Enterprises by the Ujjain Development Authority under the Madhya Pradesh Town and Country Planning Act, 1973. The Court held that the High Court's directions to take possession of the land and auction it were unwarranted, emphasizing that the lease's renewal was valid as per the terms agreed upon. The Court reinstated the lease, affirming the legal principle that statutory bodies must adhere to the terms of the lease agreements they enter into.
