Chennuru Roja v. Government of Andhra Pradesh
Case brief
What is this about?
In a common order dismissing three writ petitions, the High Court held that because Sections 6(3) and 7(1) of the 1981 Act and Sections 124 and 148 of the HMC Act are unambiguous, Rule 12(4) of the 1968 Rules has no application to municipal corporations. Therefore, lessees cannot claim lease extensions beyond 25 years.
What did the court decide?
Writ Petitions dismissed; no order as to costs; petitioners allowed to participate in future auctions.
