352. Intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of peace.
Whoever intentionally insults in any manner, and thereby gives provocation to any person, intending or knowing it to be likely that such provocation will cause him to break the public peace, or to commit any other offence, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to two years, or with fine, or with both.
Legal Notes & Explanations: Under sec 352 of BNS, intentional insult intended to provoke breach of the peace is punishable with up to two years imprisonment. Legal practitioners citing sec 352 apply sec 352 as the direct replacement for old IPC 504; charges under sec 352 require proof of intentional provocation under sec 352, making sec 352 essential under 352 BNS for sec 352 prosecutions under 352.
