420 is cheating . 506 is criminal intimidation section 3 defines domestic violence

section 4 seeks to provide that any person who has reason to believe that an act of domestic violence has been or is being committed, such person may inform the Protection Officer. It also lays down that the person who is providing the information in good faith shall be exempt from any civil or criminal liability for giving such information.
