By the custom of a village, every cultivator of village land is entitled, as such, to graze his cattle on the common pasture. A becomes tenant of a plot of uncultivated land in the village and breaks up and cultivates it. What is A's position?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Illustration (a) to section 18 says that A "thereby acquires an easement to graze his cattle in accordance with the custom". Section 18 provides that an easement may be acquired in virtue of a local custom, and such easements are called customary easements. A qualifies by becoming a cultivator of village land; no period of personal enjoyment is required.
