According to Indian penal code Section 160 is Punishment for commiting affray The word affray is derived from the french word afraier, to terrify, and in a legal sense it is taken for a public offence to the terror of the people. The essence of the offence consists in the terror it is likely to cause to the public. The Criminal Procedure Code, 1973 has now made it a cognizable offence. This section reqires three things 1. Two or more persons must fight. 2. They must fight in a public place. 3. They must disturb the public peace. Whoever commits an affray shall be punishec with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to one month, or with fine which may extend to one hundrec rupee, or with both.
