Peaceably
Peaceably, is not defined in any Act, it is a subject of some judicial pronouncement.

Khundrapam Nadiachand Singh, AIR 1970 Manipur 67....

In Lockwood v. Wood, 6 QB 50, Tindal C.J., at p. 64 says that it is 'in effect , the Common Law within that place to which it extends although contrary to the General Law of the realm.'

This remedy by entry takes place in three only of the five species of ouster-viz., abatement, intrusion, and disseisin; for as in these the original entry of the wrongdoer was unlawful, they may therefore be remedied by the mere entry of him who has right.
