Madan B. Lokur, J.1. Three issues arise in this case: (i) Whether the Petitioner is entitled to the conversion of its period lease into a perpetual lease; (ii) If the answer to the first issue is in the affirmative, what is the crucial date for levy of conversion charges; and (iii) Whether the Petitioner is entitled to an increase in the Floor Area Ratio (FAR) upto 250.In our opinion, the Respondents have no objection to the conversion of the period lease into a perpetual lease.
