In India, is it illegal to park a vehicle in front of a gate which has a message board that reads 'Do not park in front of the gate'?
Yes. It is illegal. If a person has put a board stating ‘Do not park in front of the gate’, then there must be some reason for that. Basically every individual has a right to enjoy his life in a hassle-free manner. If someone parks a vehicle in front of his gate, his path is obstructed which would eventually cause him inconvenience. Even after putting up a board as a caveat, still someone disobeys, then that individual has following legal remedies.He can file a police complaint of Wrongful restraint under Section 339 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) against the person who owns the vehicle or who parked the vehicle in front of his gate.Under Section 13 of the Indian Easements Act, 1882 the person who has put-up that board has a right of easement of necessity. An easement of necessity means an easement without which the property cannot be used at all. Mere convenience is not the test of an easement of necessity. It can be claimed only when there is absolute necessity for it, i.e. when the property cannot be used at all without the easement and not merely where it is necessary for its reasonable, or more convenient enjoyment. A person cannot acquire a right of way as an easement of necessity, if he has any other means of access to his land however more inconvenient it may be than be passing over his neighbours. Furthermore, under Section 35 of the Indian Easements Act, 1882 the person can obtain permanent injunction restraining anyone from obstructing his right of passage.Simultaneously that person can file a petition under Order 39 Rule 1 & 2 of the Code of Civil Procedure (CPC) praying for a stay order restraining his neighbour blocking the said path.As it is evident, from the above three options that the person whose path is being obstructed or may be obstructed in future, he/she can exercise any or all of the 3 options mentioned above for the sake of his/her convenience.
Is crime inevitable in human society?
Depends a bit on how you choose to define crime, but in general yes crime is inevitable.If you removed all criminal law, and only had a civil law tort system in a sense you would largely eliminate “crime” as a concept from the society. This was almost done in the early Icelandic society of from the 9th through 12th centuries. I discuss this in my post below in detail.Alfred Montestruc's answer to What was the weirdest type of government that actually existed?However although the Icelanders came close to doing this, they still had one criminal law about a class of crimes that are really hard to fit in a civil law system.That is perjury, or variations on purjury where the intent is lie to or trick the court as to what actually happened, and so get a fraudulent court verdict.No court, criminal or civil, can tolerate that sort of nonsense. If you pulled that sort of thing on an Icelandic court of that era, they would declare you an outlaw, and get other courts to review the decision and concur or not.If they agreed you committed perjury, you no longer have any rights at all under law, and were not legally human. Anyone could kill you, or hurt you, or take things from you without penalty.So assuming human beings still exist, and are still human, crime is inevitable.Not however, that getting rid of criminal law other than perjury, would go a long way towards dramatic reductions in crime.If you only have a civil law system, like the Icelanders did back then, the legal system focuses on restitution, not punishment. A victim can add in costs of recovery of assets, so theft does not pay.Their is no murder, but if you kill someone, you must either pay restitution to their family can kill you without penalty. Likewise if you injure someone.
