As per case facts, Vivek Exports' original quarry lease was previously declared invalid by the High Court, a decision upheld by the Supreme Court. Vivek Exports subsequently filed a Writ ... Petition seeking an extension of this lease and challenging a rejection endorsement, but did so after a substantial delay of several years. The question arose whether Vivek Exports could claim a statutory extension of a lease that had already been declared invalid by higher courts, especially when challenging its rejection after an inordinate delay. Finally, the High Court dismissed Vivek Exports' Writ Petition, affirming that the invalidity of their lease had attained finality and that there was no valid explanation for the significant delay in challenging the rejection.
