Legal action against person who slapped without reason
16-Nov-2023 (In Criminal Law)
I was riding s 2 wheeler when i got a call in the middle of the road & told them i was riding & will talk later. During this while a car was behind me & the man driving it was continuously honking the horn. I angrily asked him why was he honking then suddenly 4 person stepped out of the car & one of them slapped me & other one started saying he slapped you coz you were using phone while driving. I feel so humiliated & depressed after this. Is there something i can do about this can i sue him ?
No person has right to take law into his hands they had no right to slap you it's called criminal intimidation however the offence is non-cognizable police will not take any action you have to file private complaint in court of law and you can also file civil suit for damages in that case you have to pay court fee
If you were talking on mobile phone while driving it is an offence under motor vehicle act and police can Challan your vehicle. Even if you were wrong no body has got the right to beat you or take law in their own hand whether a civilian or a policeman. So you can lodge a complaint in the police station against those culprits
