Commentary On The Indian Easements Act, 1882 And Licences (Act No.5 Of 1882)

Commentary on The Indian Easements Act, 1882 & Licences (Act No. 5 of 1882) is a compact, practice-oriented treatise that translates doctrine into courtroom and registry tools. The book reproduces the Act and provides section-wise notes explaining essential doctrines: creation of easements by grant, reservation, implication and prescription; necessity and quasi-easements; types of easements (support, light and air, watercourses, rights of way); scope, enjoyment and nuisance limitations; servitude and dominant/servient tenements; registration and transfer mechanics; and extinguishment by release, merger or abandonment. A dedicated part contrasts easements with licences—legal nature, equitable licences, revocability, estoppel and remedies—including practical guidance on drafting enforceable licences and avoiding inadvertent creation of easements. Each doctrinal chapter is accompanied by leading case summaries, procedural tips for injunctions and injunction-relief drafting, practical conveyancing checklists and sample instruments (easement deed, grant of right of way, riparian agreement, licence to occupy). Appendices include specimen clauses for conveyancers, chronological list of landmark authorities and an issue index for quick bench-side lookup. Designed for practising lawyers, conveyancers, registrars, estate planners and students, this volume reduces drafting time, anticipates litigation issues and improves outcomes in property disputes and transactions.
