Using criminal force is an offence punishable under I.P.C.Any person who intentionally uses 'force' on another without his consent with a view to commit an offence or knowingly uses force to cause injury, fear or annoyance to him, is guilty of using criminal force. The term “battery” of English law is also included in Criminal force.

E.g:

1. A incites his dog to spring upon Z without Z's consent. This annoys Z. A is guilty.

2. Z is carrying a pot of water. A, without Z's consent, intentionally to annoy Z, hits the pot with a stone. The stone makes a hole and water rushes out causing annoyance to Z. A is guilty.

3. A intentionally pulls the purdha of a woman without her consent to annoy her. A is guilty under this section.

Assault (Section 351):

Any person who intentionally or knowingly makes any gesture or preparation to apprehend another with a preparation to use criminal force is guilty of assault.

Explanation:

Mere words do not amount to assault. But the words with the use of gestures or preparations bring such a meaning that criminal force is about to be applied.

Eg:

1) A shakes his fist at Z, and moves towards Z in such a manner that Z believes that criminal force is about to be used on him. This is assault.

2) A begins to let loose a ferocious dog to cause fear and annoyance to Z.

This is assault.
