Shankar Gopinath Apte vs Gangabai Hariharrao Patwardhan on 25 August, 1976
In Shanker Gopinath Apte v. Gangabhai
Hariharrao Patwardhan the plaintiff had raised plea of
tenancy failing which he claimed to be in possession of the
land, in part performance of an agreement for sale. On the
rejection of both the pleas the plaintiff-appellant therein
raised a further plea that he was protected under section
60(b) of the Indian Easements Act as he had executed works
of permanent character on the land incurring heavy expenses.
This Court rejected the submissions on the ground of absence
of pleadings, issues and evidence. While rejecting the
appellant's submissions the Court observed that even assum-
ing that the appellant had executed work of a permanent
character on the land it could not be said that he had done
so "acting upon the license" as required by Section 60(b) of
the Easements Act. The Court observed that the appellant
improved the land by executing work c-f a permanent charac-
ter, he did so, in the belief that being a tenant he would
become statutory purchaser of the land or that the oral
agreement of sale will one fine day be implemented. The
execution of the work was done either in the capacity as a
tenant or as a prospective purchaser but not as a licensee.
The decision has no application to the facts of the present
case as admittedly the school was a licensee and in that
capacity it executed works of a permanent character, by
incurring expenses and this plea was raised at the initial
stage before the trial court.

Muhammad Ziaul Haque vs Standard Vacuum Oil Company on 2 December, 1950
In Muhammad Ziaul Hague v. Standard
Vacuum Oil Company, 55 Calcutta Weekly Notes 232 the Calcut-
ta High Court held that where a license is prima facie
irrevocable either because it is coupled with a grant or
interest or because the licensee erected the work of perma-
nent nature there is nothing to prevent the parties from
agreeing expressly or by necessary implication that licence
nevertheless shall be revocable. On the same reasoning there
is nothing to prevent the parties agreeing expressly or im-
pliedly that the license which may not prima facie fall
within either of the two categories of license (as contem-
plated by section 60) should nevertheless be irrevocable.
