Indian Easements Act, 1882
10. Lessor and mortgagor
Subject to the provisions of section 8, a lessor may impose, on
the property leased, any easement that does not derogate from the rights of the
lessee as such, and a mortgagor may impose, on the property mortgaged, any
easement that does not render the security insufficient. But a lessor or
mortgagor cannot, without the consent of the lessee or mortgagee, impose any
other easement on such property, unless it be to take effect on the termination
of the lease or the redemption of the mortgage.
Explanation: A security is insufficient within the
meaning of this section unless the value of the mortgaged property exceeds by
one-third, or, if consisting of buildings, exceeds by one-half, the amount for
the time being due on the mortgage.
