Will not that act amount to intentional insult under section 504 Indian Penal code?see more?

Question

Suppose some lady says some known man to her on phone or
on the net while chating one to one.......''bastard'' or illegitimate''or ''caracterless'' or second hand or used piece.
Will not that act of her amount to intentional insult under section 504 Indian Penal Code?

Answer 1

According to Section 504 of the Indian Penal Code states that 'whoever intentionally insults another person intending or knowing it to be likely that such provocation will cause a break in the public peace or to commit any other offense...'
In other words it depends on what happens after the conversation and whether anything happened to break the public peace.

Answer 2

A straight answer can be obtained if you analyse Sec 504 of IPC. The essential ingradients are i) there shall be intentional insult; ii) such insult shall provoke any person; iii) the person who insulting knows that it cause him to break public peace; iv) or to commit any other offence. In the instant case, if such provocation cause him to break public peace or any other offence, then Sec.504 will attract. So here though the insult is intentional one, i feel that it does not have the other ingradients and it will not come under Sec 504.

Answer 3

There's actually a law against 'intentional insult'?

That's pretty lame.

Oh, boo hoo.
