R.P. No.152 of 2007 in W.P.(C) No.517 of 2007 .................................................................... Dated this the 7th day of January, 2011. ORDER Ramachandran Nair, J. Review Petition is filed against judgment rendered earlier wherein this court held that lease could be renewed with 15% increase in rent. However, R.P. is now filed by the Devaswom Board stating that first respondent is a sub-lessee and renewal could be considered only on fresh terms. We find force in this contention because once the lease period is over, it is for the Board to decide whether lease should be renewed or not, particularly when the claimant is a sub-lessee. Further, for renewal of lease, the first respondent has filed another writ petition, W.P.(C) No.22031/2010 which is pending in this court. We, therefore, dispose of the Review Petition modifying the judgment by 2 holding that the Board is free to take decision on renewal based on the norms followed in similar cases.
