Indian Easements Act, 1882
52. "License" defined
Where one person grants to another, or to a definite number of
other persons, a right to do, or continue to do, in or upon the immovable
property of the grantor, something which would, in the absence of such right,
be unlawful, and such right does not amount to an easement or an interest in
the property, the right is called a license.
