Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the lower courts regarding the demand for misuser charges under the lease agreement, emphasizing that the respondent, despite the misuse by a sub-tenant, is liable to pay the modified amount of Rs.10,31,630/- plus interest, as per the decree. The Court clarified that the respondent cannot contest the agreed amount stated in the plaint, reinforcing the principle that parties are bound by their own admissions in pleadings. The appeal by the Union of India was dismissed, affirming the lower court's ruling.
