JUDGMENT :
ASHOK S. KINAGI, J.
1. This Regular Second Appeal is filed by the appellant challenging the judgment and decree dated 16.09.2010 passed in R.A.No.340 of 2007 by the learned I Additional District Judge, Tumkur, and the judgment and decree dated 08.10.2007 passed in O.S.No.217 of 2001 by the learned Civil Judge (Sr.Dn.) and Addl.

A right of easement may exist if one landowner has no accessible route to their property except through another's land, but the plaintiff must establish the existence of such a pathway.
The main legal point established in the judgment is the requirement for clear title and acceptable evidence to support claims of possession and easementary rights.
Easement rights can be established based on necessity even if prescriptive rights are not proved, provided there is evidence of long-standing usage.
The limitations of interference under Sec. 100 of CPC and the requirement of substantial question of law for second appeal.
