Distinction Between Public and Private Nuisance

The distinction between public and private nuisance are as follows 
1) Nature of the violence :- 
While a public nuisance is an offence against public right, safety and convenience, a private right, on the other hand, is an infringement of a private right of a person to the comfortable occupation of property.
2) Basis to sue :-
In the case of public nuisance an action cannot be maintained by a private individual in his own name where public nuisance causes no special harm to the individual. But in the case of private nuisance action is maintained at the suit of any individual in possession of land who is injured by reason thereof.
3) Nature of case :-
Whereas public nuisance is a crime, private nuisance is a civil wrong.
4) As to acquision of right of nuisance :-
While no length of time can legalise a public nuisance, a right to commit a private nuisance may be acquired by prescription.
5) Abatement :- 
In the case of private nuisance, the nuisance may be abated by the injured person but public nuisance cannot be abated by him.
6) Proving the nuisance :-
In public nuisance, it is a State's duty, the responsibility lies upon the State to the interference of defendant. But, in case of private nuisance, the plaintiff must prove interference with his enjoyment of land.
7) As to remedies :-
In the case of private nuisance in action for damages may be brought but in the case of public nuisance no suit will lie unless the plaintiff has sustained special damage. Besides, in respect of private nuisance, remedies are abatement or removal by the person aggrieved or damages or injuries. But in respect of public nuisance remedy is either criminal prosecution or an injunction to restrain its continuance.
