Acknowledgment of Easement Right (India)
This document is a formal acknowledgment that the use of light and air through specific windows is permitted by a neighbor's consent rather than as a permanent legal right. It helps property owners prevent the accidental creation of prescriptive easements by documenting that the access is granted by permission.

About this template
What is this template?
This document is a formal deed that records the legal recognition of an easement right by a property owner in favor of another party. It contains specific descriptions of the 'dominant heritage' and 'servient heritage' and is not a transfer of ownership or a lease agreement.
When should you use it?
Use this document when a neighbor has been using a path on your land and you wish to formally record the legal right of way to avoid future litigation. Use a Property Sale Deed instead if you are transferring the actual title of the land.
What's inside
