Section 25. Rights of way and other easements

25. In the event of any dispute arising as to the route by which a tenure holder or an agricultural labourer shall have access to his land or to the waste or pasture land of the village (other than by the public roads paths or common land) or as to the source from or course by which he may avail himself of irrigational facilities, the Tahsildar may, after such local inquiry as may be considered necessary, decide the matter with reference to the prevailing custom and with due regard to the convenience of all the parties concerned. He may direct the removal of such obstacle and may, for that purpose, use or cause to be used such force as may be necessary and may recover the cost of such removal from the person concerned in the manner prescribed.
