QUESTION ANALYSIS Questions 153 to 155: It was a cluster question dealing with the topic of Public and Private Nuisance under Torts. In question 153, the act of digging the trench by A amounts to Nuisance and would be classified as Public Nuisance because the interference is caused for the public in general. Although the digging of the trench has caused inconvenience to B, but as the act would classify as public nuisance, hence, the suit cannot terminate in the favour of B. But, the suit instituted by C would succeed because he suffered special damage and as per Principle 3, he has the right of civil action.

QUESTION ANALYSIS Questions 162 to 165: It was a cluster question on contracts dealing with the Topic of communication of proposal and acceptance. The difficulty level of this question would be considered high. It dealt with 5 principles. The questions were not very twisted but a single thorough reading would not have sufficed. It would not be a wrong decision to leave the question unattempted. Questions 176 to 180: It was a cluster question from Constitution dealing with the Fundamental Right of Expression. The question was a must-attempt one. Even though it had 5 Principles, but the principles were not difficult to understand and there were 5 questions asked on these principles.

QUESTION ANALYSIS Question 193 and 194: The correct answer options are (a) and (b) respectively. Lets understand the difference between the concepts of Theft, Criminal Breach of Trust and Dishonest Misappropriation of Property: In Theft, the offender takes the movable property out of the possession of the owner unlawfully. In Criminal Breach of trust movable/immovable property is already in possession of offender lawfully entrusted by the owner. In Criminal Misappropriation, movable/immovable property comes in possession of offender by any means lawfully. Dishonest intention is a common element in all three.
