AI SummaryRemanded

Held

The High Court directed the Kerala State Industrial Development Corporation (KSIDC) to consider whether the lease deed should be executed in favor of Saffe Panel or if Evershine's request for cancellation of the transfer should be accepted. KSIDC must pass orders within two months after hearing both parties, having due regard to the facts and the rules relating to Disposal of Land for Industrial Purposes.

Facts

Evershine Petroleum Pvt. Ltd. agreed to transfer its industrial land lease from KSIDC to Saffe Panel Industry (P) Ltd. DILAC approved the transfer subject to conditions, including payment of arrears and transfer charges (plus GST) within 90 days. Saffe Panel paid its dues within the stipulated period, but Evershine later sought to cancel the transfer and made partial payments after the deadline.

Key Issues

Whether the transfer of industrial land lease from Evershine to Saffe Panel should be finalized by KSIDC, considering Saffe Panel's timely payments and Evershine's subsequent request for cancellation and delayed payments.
