Partition Not Necessary for Remedy under Sections 251 and 251-A of Rajasthan Tenancy Act - The courts have clarified that partition of land is not a prerequisite for granting remedies related to easementary rights or opening new ways for tenants. An order can be issued after a summary inquiry if it is absolutely necessary, without requiring partition of the land. The focus is on the necessity of the relief rather than partitioning the land itself Hema Ram VS Ram Singh - Current Civil Cases, Hema Ram VS Ram Singh - Rajasthan.
Easementary Rights and Opening of New Ways - Under Sections 207 and 251-A of the Rajasthan Tenancy Act, if a person claims a right of way based on easement, courts may direct the opening of a new way after a summary inquiry, provided it is absolutely necessary. The proceedings emphasize that such relief is granted based on necessity, not on partition or division of land Hema Ram VS Ram Singh - Rajasthan.
Partition and Tenancy Rights - The case law indicates that even if land is partitioned, it does not automatically entitle or restrict tenants’ rights, especially concerning easements or ways. The courts have held that the termination of tenancy or rights cannot be solely dependent on partition, and remedies can be granted without partitioning land Rani Sundarammani VS Govt. of A. P. , Revenue Department - Andhra Pradesh.
Legislative Context and Judicial Approach - The Rajasthan Tenancy Act and amendments (like the 1956 amendments to Bombay Tenancy Act) are within legislative competence, and their provisions regarding easements and rights are to be enforced without necessarily requiring partition. The courts focus on the necessity and fairness of the remedy rather than on partitioning land RAM RAM NARAIN MEDHI VS State Of Bombay - Supreme Court, Ram Ram Narain Medhi VS State Of Bombay - Supreme Court.
Legal Procedure and Remedies - Orders under Civil Procedure Code and specific relief laws facilitate quick relief where necessary, emphasizing that partition is not a mandatory condition for granting relief related to easements or rights of way. The courts prioritize the necessity of the remedy over procedural complexities like partition Hema Ram VS Ram Singh - Current Civil Cases, Hema Ram VS Ram Singh - Rajasthan.
