Directions: In this question, one or more principles are given follow...

Principle Application:

Principle:
- If a person, without any authority, prevents a person to proceed to any direction and is kept confined, he commits an offence of criminal confinement.

Facts:
- The Municipal Board allowed X to hold a marriage party by blocking a part of a public road.
- The marriage party blocked most of the road and did not allow A, a passerby, to cross the road.
- A brought a charge of criminal confinement against the head of the marriage party and other associates.

Explanation:
- According to the principle, criminal confinement occurs when a person is prevented from proceeding in any direction without authority.
- In this case, X was given permission by the Municipal Board to block a part of the public road for the marriage party.
- Since X had the authority to block the road, A cannot succeed in his charge of criminal confinement against the head of the marriage party and other associates.
- A's inability to cross the road was a result of the authorized blockage for the marriage party, not a criminal act of confinement.

Directions: In this question, one or more principles are given follow...

Strictly following the principle, A cannot succeed because X has got permission from the Municipal Board and has blocked part of the public road.

The principle says that we can sue for confinement only when it is unauthorized. But in this case, the permission from the Municipality has been obtained. Therefore, we cannot sue.
