Laxmi Khandsari Etc. Etc vs State Of U.P. & Ors on 9 March, 1981
7. Admittedly; the contract came to an end on 16.11.99. It is very doubtful as to whether petitioner could retain possession subsequent thereto for the reason that the submission made by Mr. Lodha that once the contractual tenancy came to an end, statutory tenancy came, into existence and the petitioner could be removed only in accordance with law, seems to be preposterous for the reason that petitioner was merely a licensee and not a tenant and the licence came to an end automatically on expiry of its term. Revocation of licence amounts to complete abolition of the right for the exercise of which the licence was granted and it would be tantamount to cancellation for all times to come entailing all vital consequences.
