  1. As per the information mentioned in the present query, makes it clear that the person is not giving you the license plus documents.
  2. If there is no agreement between you and him then you can change him whenever you want to.
  3. But, if there is any agreement then you need to see the clause which he has violated.
  4. Even if, there is no such clause then also he is not liable to be continued with as he is not giving the very basic requirement, to make the lift using as legal if any mishap happens.
