Lease
Lease [either from locatio, Lat., the letting of property, or laisser, Fr., to let, or leapum, or leasum, Sax., to enter lawfully], sometimes also called demise (demissio), is a grant of property for life, or years, or from year to year or at will, by one who has greater interest in the property. The person granting is called the lessor, who is possessed of the reversion (as to a reversion being essential to a lease, see 1 Platt on Lease, pp. 9 et seq.); he to whom the property is granted, the lessee. The consideration is usually the payment of a rent or other annual recompense. The ancient operative words were 'demise, lease, and to farm let,' or 'demise and lease.'The (English) Law of Property Act,1925, makes a distinction between leases for years which become legal estates if they consist of terms of years absolute and leases for life which have been converted into merely equitable interests if created under a settlement, but by s. 149 of the Act leases for life at a rent or in cons...
Entrustment
Entrustment, means 'the transfer of possession of goods to a merchant who deals in goods of that type and who may in turn transfer the goods and all rights to them to a purchaser in the ordinary course of business' (Black's Law Dictionary), see also National Insurance Co. Ltd. v. Ishar Das Madan Lal, (2007) 4 SCC 105.The expression 'entrustment' carries with it the implication that the person handing over any property or on whose behalf that property is handed over to another, continues to be its owner. Entrustment is not necessarily a term of law. It may have different implications in different contexts. In its most general significance, all its imports is handing over the possession for some purpose which may not imply the conferment of any propriety right therein. The ownership or beneficial interest in the property in respect of which criminal breach of trust is alleged to have been committed, must be in some person other than the accused and the latter must hold it on account of s...

Lease and licence
Lease and licence, if an interest in immovable property, entitling the transferor to enjoyment, is created, it is a lease; if permission to use land without right to exclusive possession is alone granted, a license is the legal result, Qudrat Ullah v. Municipal Board, Bareilly, AIR 1974 SC 396 (398): (1974) 1 SCC 202. (Transfer of Property Act, s. 105; Easements Act, s. 52)The difference between a 'lease' and 'licence' is to be determined by finding out the real intention of the parties as decipherable from a complete reading of the document, if any, executed between the parties and the surrounding circumstances. Only a right to use the property in a particular way or under certain terms given to the occupant while the owner retains the control or possession over the premises results in a licence being created; for the owner retains legal possession while all that the licensee gets is a permission to use the premises for a particular purpose or in a particular manner and but for the pe...
