Case Summary: Official Trustee of West Bengal v. Stephen Court Ltd. Court Decision: The Supreme Court dismissed the Official Trustee's appeal, upholding the Calcutta High Court's 1984 order granting Stephen Court Ltd. a 60-year lease extension of a Kolkata property at Rs. 19,000/month. The Court held that the High Court had jurisdiction under Section 302 of the Succession Act to entertain the application; the Company had proper locus standi; and the Official Trustee was estopped from challenging the order after accepting its benefits for 17 years and executing the lease deed accordingly.
