Nuisance Questions and Answers

Answer: B

The correct combination is (A) & (C).

Under Section 91 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, a suit for a declaration, injunction or other relief in respect of a public nuisance may be instituted by the Advocate General, or by two or more persons with the leave of the Court, even though no special damage has been caused to them.

Statement (B) misses the point of the section: persons who have suffered special damage can sue in their own right, but Section 91 is the route for a public nuisance where no special damage is needed. A single member of the local body (D) has no standing under the section, so the combinations with (B) or (D) are wrong.

Answer: A

It can be classified as Nuisance.

Private nuisance is an unlawful and unreasonable interference with a person's use or enjoyment of land. Loud noise from a neighbouring flat at midnight is a textbook example: nothing physically enters the property, but the occupier's enjoyment of it is disturbed.

Trespass needs a direct physical intrusion on land. Conversion concerns dealing with someone else's goods, and interference with contractual relations concerns inducing a breach of contract. None of these is about noise.
