Explanation using Example

Example 1:

Ravi and his friends were playing cricket in their neighborhood. While playing, Ravi hit the ball into Mr. Sharma's garden. Instead of asking for permission, Ravi jumped over the fence and entered Mr. Sharma's property to retrieve the ball. Mr. Sharma saw Ravi and asked him to leave, but Ravi refused and started mocking Mr. Sharma. In this scenario, Ravi has committed criminal trespass because he entered Mr. Sharma's property without permission and with the intent to annoy him.

Example 2:

Priya had a dispute with her neighbor, Mrs. Kapoor, over a boundary wall. One evening, Priya entered Mrs. Kapoor's house without permission to confront her about the issue. Mrs. Kapoor asked Priya to leave, but Priya refused and continued to argue. Priya's actions constitute house-trespass because she unlawfully entered Mrs. Kapoor's dwelling with the intent to intimidate and insult her.

Example 3:

Amit was upset with his colleague, Raj, over a work-related issue. One night, Amit sneaked into Raj's house through an open window with the intent to steal important documents. Raj woke up and caught Amit in the act. Amit's actions are considered house-trespass because he unlawfully entered Raj's dwelling with the intent to commit an offence (theft).

Example 4:

During a religious festival, a group of individuals entered a temple without permission and started creating a ruckus, disturbing the devotees. The temple authorities asked them to leave, but they refused and continued their disruptive behavior. This scenario is an example of house-trespass because the individuals unlawfully entered a place of worship with the intent to annoy and insult the devotees.

Example 5:

Sunil had a disagreement with his landlord over unpaid rent. In retaliation, Sunil entered the landlord's office without permission and started damaging property. The landlord called the police, and Sunil was arrested. Sunil's actions are considered criminal trespass because he entered the landlord's property with the intent to commit an offence (vandalism).
