Abstract

An easement is a right which the owner or occupier of the land has for

beneficial use of that land. These rights normally include right of way, right of

light & air, right of discharge of household water and right of support etc.

Malikiyyah consider extension of these rights according to human needs while

other fuqaha have specified their number. Hanafi fuqaha consider easement

rights as huqooq-e-mujarradah which are not saleable, anyhow these can be

compensated in case of withdrawal from right or settlement of case with

consent while jamhur consider most of these as saleable. The crux of the

matter relies on the difference of opinion present in the definition of bai' as

described by them.

The detail of different easement rights (Huqooq-i-Irtifaq) with juristic opinions

and a general comparison with "Easement Act, 1882" has been presented in

the article.
