Explanation using Example

Imagine a situation where a person decides to play loud music on their home speakers late at night in a residential area. The loud music disturbs the sleep and peace of the neighborhood. Since this act of causing a disturbance is not specifically covered under any other section of the Indian Penal Code, it could be considered a public nuisance. If reported and found guilty, the person playing loud music could be fined up to two hundred rupees under Section 290 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860, for committing a public nuisance.
