The unsuccessful plaintiffs who lost in both the Courts are the appellants herein. They claimed rights of easement, one, of passage and another, of light and air. They are the owners of Door No. 19/128, Trichv road, Singanallur, Coimbatore-5. The adjacent property on the east, namely, No. 19/129 is admittedly owned by the respondent herein. There are two door ways marked as ‘x’ and ‘y’ on the eastern wall of the appellants house. The appellants claim right of way along the open space on the rear side of the respondents house to reach Trichy Main Road from the door ways, ‘x’ and ‘y’.

Hence there is no question of any right of easement in favour of the appellants over the property of the respondent.
