State Of Orissa vs Santi Kumar Mitra

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the High Court affirming the dismissal of the State of Orissa's appeal regarding the renewal of a lease for Khasmahal property. The Court found that the Collector's order dated 21/08/1975, which determined the lease due to violations by the lessee under the Bihar and Orissa Government Estates Manual, was valid. The Court emphasized that the legal heirs of the original lessee did not have a right to renewal as the lease had already been determined, thus affirming the lower court's ruling.
