Any person subject to military law who —

(a)

obstructs; or

(b)

when called on, refuses to assist, any provost officer, or any person (whether subject to military law or not)

legally exercising authority under or on behalf of a provost officer, shall, on conviction by court-martial, be liable to imprisonment for 2 years or any less punishment provided by this Act:

Provided that it shall be a defence for any person charged under this section to prove that he neither knew nor had reasonable cause to believe that the person in relation to whom the offence is alleged to have been committed was a provost officer or, as the case may be, a person legally exercising authority under or on behalf of a provost officer.
