As per case facts, Anima Bose leased her property to Vivekananda Kendra for 99 years. Later, she unilaterally cancelled the lease and sold the property to other parties. Vivekananda Kendra ... filed a Civil Suit challenging the cancellation and sale. The Trial Court and First Appellate Court found the cancellation illegal and ruled in favor of the Kendra. However, the High Court reversed these decisions, deeming the original document a license, not a lease, leading to this appeal. The question arose whether the original document, Exhibit 1, was a lease deed or a license. Finally, the Supreme Court, through a literal and plain reading of the document's explicit clauses regarding demising property, a 99-year term, and rent, concluded that it unequivocally established a lease. Therefore, the unilateral cancellation was illegal, preserving the plaintiff's leasehold rights, and the High Court's judgment was set aside.
