    Case Summary: MAT/1949/2025 Court Decision: The Calcutta High Court dismissed Visva Bharati University's appeal and upheld the lower court's order directing the university to mutate (register) the leased property in the name of Geeta Ghosh (widow of deceased lessee Priyabrata Ghosh) within one month. Key Reasoning: Although a Will alone cannot authorize property transfer without the lessor's written consent under Clause 10 of the 1951 lease deed, the respondent qualifies for mutation based on a release deed executed by her deceased husband's co-heirs nominating her as successor. The court found Clause 11(b)(v) of the lease permits nomination by other heirs to continue as lessee, which Visva Bharati itself had previously allowed when granting mutation to Priyabrata in 1995 under identical circumstances. The university must treat the respondent consistently with prior precedent. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
