उत्तर
A has committed a public nuisance
Explanation:
A has committed public nuisance as defined in the principle. According to the principle: “Doing of an act which causes common injury, danger or annoyance to public or which is likely to cause such injury or annoyance is Public nuisance.” X’s action of burning crop stubbles is a public nuisance because smoke caused by his action is disturbing to the public. The principle also states that “A common nuisance is not excused because it causes some nuisance or advantage.” This may be interpreted to mean that X’s action cannot be excused even if it is advantageous to his farm.
