Bare Acts › Indian Evidence Act, 1872

Section 152

This Act has been repealed — see The Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 (from 2024-07-01). The prior text continues to govern matters arising before that date.

Questions intended to insult or annoy.--

The Evidence Act 1872 was replaced by the BSA 2023 (in force 2024-07-01); no verified section mapping on file for Section 152 — confirm the corresponding provision (savings: Section 170, BSA 2023).

The Court shall forbid any question which appears to it to be intended to insult or annoy, or which, though proper in itself, appears to the Court needlessly offensive in form.
