The Goa, Daman and Diu (Extension of the Indian Easements Act) Act, 1978

Civil19784 sections

This law officially extends the Indian Easements Act of 1882 to the Union territory of Goa, Daman and Diu. It regulates easements, which are legal rights allowing land owners to use neighboring property for specific purposes, such as rights of way or access to light, air, and water. Applying to all residents and landholders in Goa, Daman and Diu, the Act matters because it brings uniform national property laws to the territory while repealing existing local legislation. Importantly, it protects pre-existing rights, pending legal proceedings, and previous administrative actions, ensuring a seamless legal transition without disrupting established property interests.
