Section 447 of IPC : Section 447: Punishment For Criminal Trespass

Explanation using Example

Imagine John, who has a dispute with his neighbor, Alex, over the use of a shared driveway. One day, in a fit of anger, John decides to enter Alex's private garage without permission to move Alex's car that he believes is wrongly parked. John does not have any right to enter Alex's garage, and his action is deliberate and with the intent to cause inconvenience to Alex. This act of John entering Alex's property without consent or lawful excuse constitutes criminal trespass under Section 447 of The Indian Penal Code. If caught and prosecuted, John could potentially face a punishment of imprisonment for up to three months, a fine up to five hundred rupees, or both, depending on the court's decision.
