SECTION I
Answer in not more than two sentences, all 10 20 Marks
1.What is wrongful restraint?[2]
Answer
Section 339 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 is now section 126(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. A person wrongfully restrains another when he voluntarily obstructs him. The obstruction must prevent him from going in a direction in which he has a right to proceed.
The ingredients.
- A voluntary obstruction of a person.
- It prevents him from going in some direction.
- He had a right to go in that direction.
The Exception. It covers a private way over land or water. Obstructing it is not an offence if the person believes in good faith that he has a lawful right to do so. Good faith means with due care and attention (section 2(11)).
Illustration. A obstructs a path along which Z has a right to pass. A does not believe in good faith that he may stop the path. Z is prevented from passing. A wrongfully restrains Z.
Punishment. Simple imprisonment up to one month, or fine up to five thousand rupees, or both (section 126(2)).
Restraint and confinement. Wrongful restraint blocks a person in one direction. Wrongful confinement under section 127 keeps him within a boundary, blocking every direction. Every confinement is a restraint, but not every restraint is a confinement.
Example. A parks his car across the only lane to B's house, so that B cannot go home. That is wrongful restraint. If A locks B inside a room, it is wrongful confinement.
