Reasons
1. Summary of grounds for appeal;

Although the Defendant, as stated in the facts of the crime in the judgment of the court below, has partially obstructed the road (hereinafter referred to as the “road in this case”), the above road is not a road that passes by the general public, and it cannot be deemed as the land stipulated in Article 185 of the Criminal Act.
