Chapter Number 10 deals with Contempts of Authority of Public Servants. Can you provide information about Section 188?
Certainly. Section 188 pertains to the offense of disobedience to an order duly promulgated by a public servant. If a person disobeys such an order, knowing that it has been promulgated by a public servant lawfully empowered to promulgate it, and if such disobedience causes obstruction, annoyance, injury, or risk thereof to any persons lawfully employed, the offender may be punished with simple imprisonment for a term up to one month, or with a fine up to two hundred rupees, or with both. If the disobedience causes danger to human life, health, safety, or leads to a riot or affray, the punishment may extend to imprisonment for a term up to six months, or with a fine up to one thousand rupees, or with both.
