and passing a detailed speaking order on the petitioners’ replies dated

Stadium, Ongole. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that as

per Clause 1 of the lease agreement dated 28.09.2022, after

completion of the existing lease period, the petitioner is entitled for

renewal of lease for another period of three years subject to a

condition of enhancing @ 33.33% upon the existing lease amount. In

accordance with the conditions of lease agreement, the petitioner

submitted his renewal application by endorsing his consent for

enhancing like @ 33.33% upon existing lease amount for renewal of

lease period for another period of three years. Even after submission

of renewal applications/representations, without considering the

same, the respondents are taking steps for eviction of petitioner.

Having no other option, the petitioner approached this Court by way

of Writ Petition No.26960 of 2025, wherein this Court while disposing

of the writ petition was pleased to pass final orders and directed the

respondents to consider and pass appropriate orders upon the

petitioner’s renewal application. Till then, the petitioner could not be

evicted from his respective premises. While so, without passing any

orders as directed by this Court, respondent No.4 got evicted the

petitioners forcefully and violated the orders of this Court. Further,

respondent No.4 is taking steps to grant lease hold rights afresh,

without considering the request of the petitioners for renewal as per

the terms of the lease agreement. Hence, the Writ Petition.

directed to get instructions. As per the instructions, it is stated that

renewal application of the petitioner. He further submits that, in fact

petitions were already evicted from their respective premises, since

the lease period was completed by the date of order of this Court. He

further submits that so far the respondent No.4 not initiated any steps

for conducting fresh auction for granting lease. He also submits that

the petitioner and others have to pay arrears towards rental amount

pertaining to previous lease period by such they violated the terms of

the lease agreement. As such the petitioners are not entitled to seek

for compliance of the terms of the lease agreement.

placed on record. In fact, the petitioner is existing lessee and

submitted an application for renewal of lease period as per the terms

of the lease agreement. The Clause-I of the terms of the lease

agreement dated 28.09.2022 is clear and
