19. The another accusation is that Section 355 of IPC which reads as under

"Whoever assaults or uses criminal force to any person, intending thereby to dishonor that person, otherwise than on grave and sudden provocation given by that person, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to two years, or with fine, or with both."

To constitute an offense under IPC Section 355, the following essential elements must be present;

i. The offender must have committed an act of assault or used criminal force against another person. Assault, under IPC, refers to an attempt or threat KABC030738342015 CC No.26364/2015 to inflict physical harm, while criminal force involves the use of unlawful physical power.

iv. Unlike certain other sections of the IPC that are gender-specific, Section 355 applies to acts committed against any person, regardless of gender. Both men and women are equally protected under this provision.
