Laxmichand Bhagaji Ltd. Thro' ... vs Madhubhai Manishankar Desai on 21 February, 2008
27. The Court is also of the view that simply because some rent receipts are produced without any lease or tenancy agreement, the relationship of landlord and tenant cannot be established. The present respondent cannot claim the status of tenant only on the basis of some rent receipts alleged to have been issued. Such payment would tantamount to the charges for permissive occupation and it would not create any right or title to the possession of the property. The appellant's advocate Mr. Dipen Shah has, therefore, rightly relied on the decision of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Sheodhari Rai v. Suraj Prasad Singh (Supra).
