Can you explain Section 352 of the Indian Penal Code regarding assault or criminal force?
Certainly. In Section 352, whoever assaults or uses criminal force to any person, other than on grave and sudden provocation, may face imprisonment for up to three months, a fine up to five hundred rupees, or both. Grave and sudden provocation won't mitigate the punishment if it's sought by the offender or if it's done in obedience to the law or in the lawful exercise of the right of private defence.
