Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court overturned the High Court's order directing the Nagpur Metro Rail Corporation to vacate the property, ruling that the Metro's entry and possession were justified under the terms of the lease. The court emphasized the legality of the Metro's actions in light of the public purpose for which the land was requisitioned. Consequently, the appeal was allowed, affirming the Metro's right to retain possession of the property.
