Solution

The correct option is A Ramarao would win, as his neighbour did not oblige him even after knowing the serious condition of his father
Private nuisance refers to the unlawful interference with the right to use or enjoyment of property by the owner which causes some damage to the owner of the land. The essential ingredients of private nuisance are:
(1) unreasonable or unlawful interference
(2) interference should be with respect to right to use or enjoyment of property
(3) damage.
Interference can be of two types: injury to property and personal physical discomfort. The current instance is an example of personal physical discomfort. It has been established in a number of cases that noise pollution from any machine situated in the neighbouring premises amounts to personal discomfort to amount to private nuisance (Ram Raj Singh v Babulal).
