Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that under Section 60(b) of the Indian Easements Act, 1882, a license becomes irrevocable when the licensee has made permanent constructions on the property. The Court found that the donor's informal grant of the property to the school did not constitute a valid transfer of ownership, as it lacked a registered deed. Consequently, the plaintiff-appellant's attempt to revoke the license and reclaim possession was denied, affirming the lower court's ruling that the license was irrevocable due to the substantial investments made by the school.
