PW2/1 written by him to Birla Mill with a request to allot a quarter to him, which bears his signature at point A. Accused has simply claimed that he is tenant in the said quarter, however he has not lead any evidence to show that he is tenant in the quarter in question. Furthermore, it has been held by the Hon'ble High Court that a tenancy is always created by a contract and for creating the contract of tenancy, both the parties i.e. landlord and tenant must be at ad­idem. Thus, in view of the law laid down by the Hon'ble Delhi High Court in "2009 Texamco vs Jagdev Singh 14 (160) DLT 171, Viran Devi vs. S. Subhash" accused ought to have established on record the contract of tenancy, however, except a bald statement nothing is proved on record to show that there exists a tenancy agreement between the parties. In view of the aforesaid discussion it is held that accused is a licensee and complainant is the licensor.
