267
Under the Indian Penal Code, 1860, Section 228 dealt with “Intentional insult or interruption to public servant sitting in judicial proceeding”. Since the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 came into force on 1 July 2024, the corresponding provision is Section 267 of the BNS. The Sanhita renumbered the whole code, so the old IPC number does not carry over — this is the official mapping.
