Implied Grant of Easement for Vehicle Delivery | 50-Year Uninterrupted Commercial Use of Landlord’s Compound Confers Rights: Calcutta HC

The Calcutta High Court ruled that a tenant’s half-century of continuous, unchallenged use of a landlord’s compound for vehicle delivery constitutes an implied easement by grant, not mere permissive use. This sets a critical precedent for commercial tenants in urban property disputes, affirming that long-standing, essential operational practices can crystallize into legally enforceable rights even without written agreement.
