In Pakistan, a license is a permission granted by the licensor to the licensee to do something on

the licensor's property that would otherwise be unlawful. It is a personal right and does not
transfer any interest in the property. Licenses can be oral or written, and they are revocable
unless coupled with an interest or given for consideration.

An easement, on the other hand, is a right granted to one person to use another person's land
for a specific purpose, such as a right of way or a right to light. Easements can be created by
express grant, implication, or prescription.

Essentials of a license:

1. **Permission:** A license requires permission from the licensor to enter or use the property.

2. **Revocability:** Generally, licenses are revocable at the will of the licensor unless coupled
with an interest or given for consideration.

3. **Personal Nature:** A license is a personal right and does not create an interest in the
property.

Essentials of an easement:

1. **Dominant and Servient Tenements:** There must be two separate parcels of land involved
– the dominant tenement (benefited by the easement) and the servient tenement (subject to the
easement).

2. **Grant:** An easement can be created by express grant, such as a deed or written


agreement.

3. **Necessity or Benefit:** The easement should be necessary or provide a benefit to the


dominant tenement.

4. **Legal Form:** Easements are generally required to be in writing and registered to be


enforceable.

Understanding these legal concepts is crucial for property transactions and land use
agreements in Pakistan. It's recommended to consult with legal professionals for specific cases
and advice.

The ability to grant an easement or license depends on the legal ownership and control of the
property:

1. **Easement:**
- **Owner of the Servient Tenement:** The person who owns the land over which the
easement is granted is typically the one who can grant an easement. This is the servient
tenement, and the owner has the authority to create easements benefiting another property
(dominant tenement).

2. **License:**
- **Property Owner or Authorized Agent:** The owner of the property, or someone authorized
by the owner, can grant a license. A license is a personal right and doesn't transfer any interest
in the land, so the property owner has the discretion to permit others to use the property.

In both cases, legal formalities may be necessary, such as a written agreement or registration,
depending on the jurisdiction. It's important to consult legal professionals for advice and to
ensure that the granting of easements or licenses complies with local laws and regulations.
