Easements for limited time or on condition

Section 6 of The Indian Easements Act, 1882.

An easement may be permanent, or for a term of years or other limited period, or subject to periodical interruption, or exercisable only at a certain place, or at certain times, or between certain hours, or for a particular purpose, or on condition that it shall commence or become void or voidable on the happening of a specified event or the performance or non-performance of a specified Act.

Easements, by whatever modes they are acquired, as a rule, are permanent.

For a term of years or other limited period

Such easements can only arise from grant.

Subject to periodical interruption

A right of way can be granted subject to periodical interruption by the grantor when he requires it exclusively for his own purposes.

Exercisable only at a certain place

The right of way can be exercised only through a particular route. An easement of way confers no right to wander at pleasure over any part of the servient heritage.

Between certain hours

A person may have a right in respect of his mill to an uninterrupted flow of water from sunrise to noon.

For a particular purpose

A person may have aright of way for agricultural purposes only, or for passage of boats during the rainy season.

On Condition of a specified act

The right of easement may be granted on condition that it shall commence or become void or voidable when a certain person C dies during the life-time of the grantor or if the grantee marries or does not marry a certain person.
