About this template
What is this template?
This is a formal arbitral award that settles disputes over land rights rather than a contract between parties. It contains specific findings on the ownership of a pump, the percentage of repair costs for a road, and the location of a passage leading to a court.
When should you use it?
Use this document when an arbitrator has concluded a hearing regarding property rights and needs to issue a final ruling. If you are instead seeking to voluntarily grant an easement to a neighbor, use an Easement Deed.
What's inside
| Clause | Name | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| I AWARD (first) | Pump and Yard Access | Grants one party ownership of the pump while requiring both parties to share repair expenses equally. |
| I AWARD (second) | Right of Passage | Permits the owner of a specific house number to pass on foot through a door in the other party's wall. |
| I AWARD (third) | Vehicular Access and Maintenance | Obliges the party using the private road to contribute one-fourth of the expenses for maintaining roads, fences, and gates. |
| I AWARD (fourth) | Light and Air | Confirms a perpetual right to access light and air through four specific windows on the west side of a building. |
Who it's for
- a party in India seeking to formalize an arbitrator's decision regarding disputed land access
