M/S Espire Infolabs Pvt Ltd vs Sadhana Foundation

The Supreme Court addressed a dispute regarding the applicability of two lease deeds, one dated 01.01.2013 and another dated 01.09.2015, in determining the rent payable by the tenant. The Court upheld the Rent Controller's decision to provisionally fix the rent at Rs.7,50,000 per month, emphasizing that the tenant's right to adjust expenses incurred for infrastructure development against the rent was valid under Clause 1(c) of the 2015 lease deed. The Court dismissed the appeal, affirming the High Court's ruling that the tenant must pay the provisional rent while allowing for adjustments based on the infrastructure costs.
