ISSUE:
Whether the operation of an oil expeller and flour mill in a residential building constitutes a private nuisance and can be restrained through an injunction?
RULE:
Using the rule established in Dhanna Lal v Chittar Singh (AIR 1959 Madh Pra 240), it is concluded that even in a noisy locality, if there is a substantial addition to the noise by the introduction of some machine, instrument, or performance at defendant's premises which materially affects the physical comforts of the occupants of the plaintiff's house, then also the noise will amount to actionable nuisance.
