    B 10 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 15 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 20 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Section 15 of the Indian Easements Act, 1882, provides that an easement right acquired by prescription must be peaceably enjoyed in respect of the servient heritage without interruption for at least 20 years. Recent Supreme Court rulings (2024) emphasize that any interruption (even if brief) restarts the period. The user must demonstrate adverse possession-like exclusive enjoyment.
