Lessee

 

A lessee of a property has a right to possession and enjoyment of the devise to the exclusion of the lessor whereas a licensee does not have such a right. Since the appellant had the right to exclusive possession and enjoyment of the disputed property, he was a lessee and not a licensee; Ajab Singh v. Shital Puri, AIR 1993 All 138.

 

Lease

 

(i) If the agreement between the parties shows an intention to create an interest in the property in favour of the grantee what results is said to be a lease. A licensee on the other hand does not create an interest in property; Mrs. Karuna Manoharlal Ohri v. Vipinbhai U. Sanghani, AIR 1993 Bom 177.

 

(ii) The furniture and fittings and the tools and implements which have been given alongwith the shop were not meant for the beneficial use of the shop but were meant exclusively for running of the hair dressing saloon, thus creating a lease of the business and not a lease of the shop; Vidya Wati v. Hansraj, AIR 1993 Del 187.

 

Licence

 

The Corporation had all the supervisory powers to regulate the running of the refreshment stall. No exclusive right was created in favour of the caterer to run the refreshment stall in the manner the caterer choose to do so. Since there is no transfer of interest in the stall and as per the terms of agreement, the document can be termed as licence only and not a lease; Udai Pratap Singh v. Collector Varanasi, AIR 1991 All 104.
