Smt. Veeran Devi vs S. Subhash on 8 August, 2008
14.Complainant company was required to establish on record that
accused is the licensee of the complainant company. PW1 has
deposed that the accused was allotted quarter in question on
licence basis through letter Ex. PW1/5 which bears signature of
accused at point A. Once the quarter in question was allotted to the
accused on licence basis by the erstwhile owner, the status of the
accused shall always remain as of a licensee. However, in his
statement recorded u/s 313 Cr.P.C, accused has taken specific plea
Texamco vs Jagdev Singh 13
that quarter was given to him on tenancy basis and allotment letter
Ex. PW1/5 is forged and fabricated. Thus, onus was always upon
the accused to prove that Ex. PW1/5 is forged and fabricated
document and it does not bear his signature at point A. If signature
of the accused is forged, the onus is upon the accused to prove this
fact that the allotment letter Ex. PW1/5 does not bear his signature
by bringing some concrete evidence on record. However, accused
did not lead evidence in this regard, as such, it is held that
allotment letter Ex. PW1/5 is duly signed by the accused. Except
his statement accused has not brought on record any document i.e.
rent receipt etc to show that he is tenant in the quarter. Moreover,
accused did not deny the letter Ex. 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 adÂidem. 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.

question which he failed to do so. Accused has not denied that he
is still occupying the quarter. Since, he did not vacate and hand
over the possession of the quarter in question after cessation of his
service thus, it is held that accused has been wrongfully

Texamco vs Jagdev Singh 16
on 10.07.03 seeking vacation of the quarter. Ld. defence counsel
submitted that no notice of termination and notice to vacate the
quarter was ever served upon the accused. These arguments of
the Ld. defence counsel does not carry much weight as for
maintaining the proceeding u/s 630 of Companies Act, aforesaid
notice is not required to be served upon the accused. However, at
the costs of repetition it is reiterated that services of the accused
has already come to an end w.e.f 30.11.96. It has been held by the
Hon'ble Supreme Court in "1989 (4) SCC 514, Atul Mathur vs Atul
Kalra and Anr." that it is the duty of the court to suppress the
mischief and advance the remedy u/s 630 of Companies Act and
that the technicality should not come in the way of advancing the
justice.
