उत्तर
Ashok is creating a nuisance to his neighbour by playing the radio loud perpetually and disturbing Raju in being able to listen to the TV in his home.
Explanation:
Private Nuisance. Private nuisance may be defined as unlawful interference with a person's use, comfort, enjoyment, and any interest that a person may have over his land... An interference becomes unlawful and constitutes a nuisance when it unreasonably interferes with the plaintiff's enjoyment of his land. Ashok will be considered as creating a nuisance for his neighbor as he is listening to music at unreasonably high volumes which are interfering with the right of his neighbor Raju.
