e the registered proprietors for value and without fraud of the properties described in Certificates of Title Nos. 11771 and 11778; that when they bought the properties they had no notice of any adverse interest, actual or constructive of anyone else and 
t
hey thus took their titles free of any such interest even if it can be said that one exists. They rely on Section 39 of the Land Transfer Act (Cap. 131) the short effect of which is to guarantee immunity from attack by adverse claim to the title of any pe
r
son becoming the registered proprietor of any land in accordance with the provisions of the Act, subject to the three exceptions mentioned therein. This concept is central in the system of registration under the Act, and because the Fourth Defendant does 
n
ot deny the Plaintiffs' claim to hold indefeasible rights in their land, I shall not refer to this question again in this judgment. On the above facts, and with this concession of the Plaintiffs' indefeasibility of title, the question now is "are the Plai
ntiffs entitled to the relief which they seek?"

The answer to this question depends on a consideration of certain case law. By the common law the proprietor of land upon the banks of a natural stream of running water is entitled to have, and is obliged to 
accept, the flow of water past his land. He cannot either deprive those lower down the stream of its flow nor pen it back upon the lands of his neighbour higher up. These rights and obligations do not depend on prescription or grant. They are proprietary

158. One passage of the speech of Lord Dunedin has been quoted frequently in cases dealing with the right of natural drainage of surface water but I do not propose to quote this passage her
e except to say that in it the Privy Council, though dealing with the law of Guernsey, which is based on Roman sources and the Grand Couturier of Normandy and not on the common law, suggested that the common law itself had adopted the Roman law rule that 
(
apart altogether from the case of a defined stream) an upper proprietor may as of right send on to the contiguous land of a lower proprietor natural water flowing on the former's land, even if, in the course of draining or otherwise improving his land, su
ch upper proprietor has collected such water in a more concentrated volume than nature has done.

 Civil Action No. 330 of 1985 which is authority for the proposition that the cost of relocation of a drain, which i
s not the subject of a drainage easement is the responsibility of the Suva City Council. But that case is clearly distinguishable from the present. In this }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0

 the plaintiffs are not asking the Council to bear the cost of relocation of the drain but are 
merely seeking a declaration that they are entitled to seal off the drains which are in their properties. It seems to me in all the circumstances, particularly from their undoubted rights under Section 39 of the Land Transfer Act and on the principles of 
t
he cases I have mentioned, that the Plaintiffs are entitled to the declaration. However I consider that this right which I find they have must be conditional on them undertaking to indemnify and keep indemnified all other land owners in the vicinity of th
e
 Plaintiffs' properties who are likely to be affected by my decision, I also direct that the works which they propose to undertake on the land in question must have the approval of the Suva City Council at the Plaintiffs' cost. I foresee that the Council 
through its civil engineers}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \fs24\lang2057\langfe5129\langnp2057\insrsid476091\charrsid3878582  }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \fs24\lang2057\langfe5129\langnp2057\insrsid7368413\charrsid3878582 
will wish to keep under surveillance the work being carried out by the Plaintiffs, in its capacity as the drainage authority for the City of Suva. Although my decision in fact rejects the submission made by the }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0

consider it would be appropriate in the circumstances of this case that the Council should pay the Plaintiffs' costs of these proceedings. It seems to me the fairer course is to direct that the parties pay their own legal costs and I so order.
