The appellate court dismissed the prosecution's charges against the defendant for the first incident, finding it was caused by provocation under Article 217 § 2 of the Criminal Procedure Code. While the defendant was found guilty of insulting the victim for the second incident, the court declared the proceedings for this charge inadmissible due to negligible social harm. Consequently, the court acquitted the defendant of the first charge and terminated the proceedings for the second, while upholding the remainder of the first-instance judgment.
