Assignee, or Assign
Assignee, or Assign, a person appointed by another to do any act or perform any business; also a person who takes some right, title, or interest in things by an assignment from an assignor. They are divided into: (1) assignees by deed, as when a lessee of a term assigns it to another; and (2) assignees by law, as when property devolves upon an executor merely in virtue of his appointment as such. Assignees in bankruptcy (now called trustees, see BANKRUPTCY) are those persons in whom the property of a bankrupt vests by virtue of their appointment. (3) includes an assignee of the assignee and the legal representative of a deceased assignee and references to the assignee of any person include references to the assignee of the legal representative or assignee of that person.

Without assigning any cause
Without assigning any cause, the expression 'at any time' merely means that the termination may be made even during the substance of the term of appointment and 'without assigning any cause' means without communicating any cause to the appointee whose appointment is terminated. However, 'without assigning any cause' is not to be equated with 'without existence of any cause'. It merely means that the reason for which the termination is made need not be assigned or communicated to the appointee, Shrilekha Vidyarthi v. State of Uttar Pradesh, AIR 1991 SC 537: (1991) 1 SCC 212....
Relinquishment and assignment of tenancy
Relinquishment and assignment of tenancy, the distinction between an assignment on the one hand and relinquishment or surrender on the other is too plain to be ignored. In the case of an assignment, the assignor continues to be liable to be landlord for the performance of his obligation under the tenancy and this liability is contractual while the assignee becomes liable by reason of privity of estate. The consent of the landlord to an assign-ment is not necessary, in the absence of a contract or local usage to the contrary. But in the case of relinquishment, it cannot be a unilateral transac-tion; it can only be in favour of the lessor by mutual agreement between them. The relinquishment of possession must be to the lessor or one who holds his interest. In fact, a surrender or relinquishment terminates the lessee's rights and lets in the lessor, W. H. King v. Republic of India, AIR 1952 SC 156 (158): 1952 SCR 418. [Transfer of Property Act, 1882, s. 108(j)]...
