| Details | Consent which is expressed or implied from conduct, e.g., inactivity or silence. The word does not mean simply an active independent consent, but will be implied if a person is content.
If a party having a right stands by and sees another dealing with the property in a manner inconsistent with that right, and makes no objection while the act is in progress, he cannot afterwards complain. That is the proper sense of the word acquiescence. [Duke of Leeds v. Amherst 2 P 124]
In its proper legal sense, acquiescence implies that a person abstains from interfering while a violation of his legal right is in progress – it operates by way of estoppel. [Aklasur Rahman v. Safarullah 42 DLR (AD) 189] |
