Commentary on The Indian Easements Act, 1882 and Licences by Justice M. L. Singhal is an authoritative and in-depth legal treatise on easement jurisprudence in India. The book systematically examines the provisions of the Indian Easements Act, 1882 (Act No. 5 of 1882), supported by detailed judicial interpretations and leading case laws.

It comprehensively discusses the concept, creation, acquisition, and extinction of easements, including easement of necessity, easement by prescription, right of way, rights to light and air, water rights, and rights of support. The commentary explains the relationship between dominant and servient heritage and the practical implications in property disputes and civil litigation.

A significant portion of the book is devoted to the law relating to licences, including their nature, transferability, revocation, and the distinction between lease and licence—an area frequently litigated before civil courts. The author provides clarity on procedural aspects, injunction remedies, and enforcement of property rights.

This book serves as an indispensable resource for advocates handling property disputes, judges, law students, academicians, and real estate professionals seeking a clear understanding of easement and licence law in India.
