Parmananda Paul vs Anju Sharma on 3 September, 2015
(vi). Ld. counsel has further relied on the judgment reported
as Badri Dass & Anr. vs. Mahabir Pershad ILR (1976) II Delhi to
contend that on determination of a lease, it is the duty of the lessee
to deliver up possession of the demised premises to the lessor. If the
lessee or a sublessee under him continues in possession even after
the determination of the lease, the landlord undoubtedly has the
right to eject him forthwith; but if he does not, and there is neither
assent nor dissent on his part to the continuance of occupation of
such person, the latter becomes in the language of English law a
tenant on sufferance who has no lawful title to the land but holds it
merely through the laches of the landlord.
