The stated principle can apply even where the Act does not in terms govern, but the alleged renunciation must be examined in context. On the facts described, the statements in the compensation proceedings and related documents, read as a whole and against the background of long possession, nominal rent, the earlier declaration under the Oudh Estates Act, and the asserted heritable and transferable interest, did not amount to an unmistakable denial of the Government's reversionary rights.
