1.

The learned Judge is right. Inder Pershad Singh v. Campbell 7 C.P 474 : 8 G.L.E. 501 and Goculdas Madhavji v. Narsu Yenkuji 13 B.P 630

show that where a sub-lease is entered into in the belief that the original contract will be subsisting during the period during which the sub-contract

2.

The appeal is dismissed with costs.
