Illustration (a) to section 7 of the Indian Easements Act, 1882 describes the exclusive right of every owner of land in a town to build on that land. To what is this right expressly made subject?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Illustration (a) to section 7 describes the exclusive right of every owner of land in a town to build on it, "subject to any municipal law for the time being in force". This is one of the ordinary rights of ownership that an easement may restrict, for example an easement of light. Neighbours' consent is not a condition of the right; a neighbour can limit it only if he has acquired an easement.
