Foul language
9 months ago
I was having a conversation with my bf and he staring saying fuck off even though when I said u can’t use this language. Can I lodge a complaint against him?
A.Dear client,
Yes, you can file a complaint against him under the following sections:
Section 294 of Indian Panel Code, 1860:
It lays down that if any person does any act in a public place which is considered as obscene as under Section 292 of Indian Panel Code, 1860, shall be punishable.
In the case of Jaichand Vs State Of Maharashtra, decided on 31.03.2010, the Nagpur Bench of Bombay High Court held that verbal abuse need not necessarily be in a public place to punish the offender under Section 294 of Indian Panel Code, 1860. This means that if a person hurls abuses at some other person while staying in their own premises, they can be charged under the Section for spreading obscenity.
Section 354 of Indian Panel Code, 1860
Whosoever assaults or uses criminal force to any woman, intending to outrage or knowing it to be likely that he will thereby outrage her modesty, such an act would be punishable with imprisonment as well as a fine.
It goes without saying that an abuse hurled at a woman, or which includes the name or depiction of a woman, is sure to outrage her modesty. You can file a complaint under this section
