Punjab Landowners vs. Rattan** (1968)

property ailet advanced real_case

This case is a classic example of the principles of Easement Law, specifically the concept of easement. The Punjab Landowners vs. Rattan case deals with the question of whether an easement can be created by long user. In this case, the plaintiff claimed an easement over the defendant's land for the purpose of accessing a common water course, citing long user of 20-25 years. The court held that an easement can be created by long user, but only where it is not inconsistent with the rights of the owner of the dominant and servient tenements. I personally think the judgment was fair, considering the circumstances of the case. But what do you guys think? Should long user be enough to create an easement? Agree or disagree for AILET context.
