Question

Under Section 15 of the Indian Easements Act, 1882, Acquisition by Prescription is subject to strict conditions. Which of the following correctly states all the essential conditions required to acquire a prescriptive easement over private land, and the key rule on what constitutes an "interruption"?

A Enjoyment for 10 years, openly and without permission; any act by the servient owner constitutes interruption regardless of whether the dominant owner submits to it
B Enjoyment for 20 years, peaceably and openly, as of right (i.e., without force, stealth, or permission), without interruption and an "interruption" is legally effective only if the dominant owner submits to or acquiesces in it for one year after having notice of both the interruption and the person making it
C Enjoyment for 20 years with the express or implied permission of the servient owner; the dominant owner must register the easement at the end of 20 years to perfect it
D Enjoyment for 12 years for private land and 30 years for government land; the use need not be uninterrupted as long as the total aggregate period equals the required years
