Explanation

House-trespass is treated as an aggravated form of offence of criminal trespass. The difference between criminal trespass as defined in Section 441 and house-trespass as defined under Section 442 is that the offence of criminal trespass is committed when a person enters into or upon any ‘property’ of any one with intent to commit an offence or to intimate or to insult or to annoy him while house trespass can only be used as a human dwelling or any place used for worshipping or as a place for the custody of property. So, A has committed the offence of house trespass defined under section 442.
