Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of review petitions concerning lease renewals for ex-servicemen, affirming the Delhi High Court's decision that leases granted for 11 months could not be renewed beyond 5 years as per the policy introduced on 13th April 2007. The Court noted that the appellant, Chandro Devi, did not approach the Supreme Court in the earlier litigation and thus could not claim entitlement to renewal based on a draft government letter. The Court held that the judgments of the lower courts were based on valid grounds and dismissed the appeal.
