Sec 60 of Easements Act 1882 is not exhaustive and parties can stipulate a licence to be revocable
I hold that the licence deed dated 16th July, 1982 is revocable. The Licensee's contention that the licence is irrevocable under section 60(b) of the Indian Easements Act, 1882 on the ground of having made permanent construction, is contrary to the well settled law and is rejected. The contention of the Licensee that the terms of the licence constitute an irrevocable licence in favour of the Licensee is also misconceived and is rejected
