Criminal Law - Harassment v/s Criminal Intimidation: CUET PG Law 2022 Question
criminal cuet_pg advanced pyq_discussionYe section sapne mein aata hai ab! I was trying to recall IPC sec 510 and sec 506, kya hota hai harassment versus criminal intimidation? Here was the question:
"X threatens Y to harm her if she doesn't marry Z, who X dislikes. X threatens to kill Y if she doesn't do so. In the light of IPC, is X liable for both threats and if so, what is the difference between sec 506 and 506(2)?"
To tackle this, you need to understand that sec 506(1) deals with punishment for criminal intimidation whereas sec 506(2) deals with the circumstances in which criminal intimidation becomes punishable.

Arre, harassment aur criminal intimidation kya hai? Harassment kahaani hai kisi person ko psychological pressure ya unease pahnane ki koshish, jismein physical violence nahin hota hai. Lekin criminal intimidation kahaan koi person ko dhamki dekar, physical injury ya death ki threat dene ki koshish hoti hai. CUET PG Law 2022 question ask karega ki harassment kya case mein IPC 509 ka section apply krta hai, ya FIR kiya jata hai?
Bhai, maine yeh question aapke saath karte hue dimaag se seekha hai. Harassment aur criminal intimidation, dono ek dusre se related hain, lekin criminal intimidation mein physical threat hoti hai, jabki harassment mein physical threat nahi hona hai. Udaaharan ke liye, 'talaak ka pressure' harassment ki shreni mein aata hai, jabki 'gun point par goli chalne ki soch' criminal intimidation mein aata hai.
