A house with a right to draw fifty buckets of water a day from a well is divided into two distinct heritages, one granted to A and the other to B. How much water may be drawn under section 30 of the Indian Easements Act, 1882?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Illustration (b) to section 30 says that A and B may each draw fifty buckets a day, "but the amount drawn by both must not exceed fifty buckets a day". Section 30 annexes the easement to each share on division of the dominant heritage, but not so as to increase substantially the burden on the servient heritage. There is no fixed equal split; the limit is on the combined total.
