CS Executive · Jurisprudence, Interpretation and General Laws · Law relating to Limitation

A dispute arises in a territory to which the Indian Easements Act, 1882 extends, about an easement acquired by long use. Which statement correctly reflects Section 29(4) of the Limitation Act, 1963?

Sections 25 and 26 and the definition of easement in section 2 do not apply to cases arising in territories where the Indian Easements Act, 1882 extends. Section 29(4) leaves such cases to be governed by the Easements Act.
