Quic quid plantatur (or fixature) solo, solo cedit

Quic quid plantatur (or fixature) solo, solo cedit, the maxim, which is found in English law, viz., 'quicquid plantatur solo, solo, cedit', has at the most only a limited application in India. There is nothing in the laws or customs of this country and traces of the existence of an absolute Rule of Law that whatever is affixed or built on the soil becomes a part of it, and is subjected to the same rights of property as the soil itself, Narayan Das Khettry v. Jatindra Nath Roy Chowdhry, AIR 1927 PC 135.There is no custom of Hindu law by which the maxim quicquid plantatur (or aedificatur) solo, solo cedit, has no application at all in India. The English law would apply unless it is clear that by local customary or other law applicable in this country, it does not the Courts of India have excluded the application of the maxim altogether, though they have help and the legislature has said in effect that there are substantial exceptions to the application of the maxim, N.P.A.

Land

Land, in its restrained sense, means soil, but in its legal acceptation it is a generic term, comprehend-ing every species of ground, soil or earth, whatso-ever, as meadows, pastures, woods, moors, waters, marshes, furze and heath; it includes also houses, mills, castles, and other buildings; for with the conveyance of the land the structures upon it pass also. And besides an indefinite extent upwards, it extends downwards to the globe's centre, hence the maxim, Cujus est solum ejus est usque ad c'lum et ad inferos; or, more curtly expressed, Cujus est solum ejus est altum.
