(3.) Mr.Shah, learned Counsel for the appellant- defendant, submits that the document, Exh.58, may be held to be inadmissible for all practical purposes, but, in accordance with the proviso to Section-49 of the Indian Registration Act, 1908 (hereinafter referred to as "the Registration Act" for short), the document can be read in evidence for limited and collateral purpose. He also submits that if from the document, it clearly flows that the right to be enjoyed by Laxman Ranchhod was permissive right, then, the same would not ripen into easementary right. He further submits that even otherwise his case would fall under Section-15, first explanation, and as the requirements of Section-35 of the Easement Act have not been satisfied, the suit of the plaintiff deserves to be dismissed.
