SO2 can act as both oxidizing as well as reducing agent since it has +4 oxidation state which is exactly between its highest oxidation state +6 and lowest oxidation state +2 ,Thus it can change its oxidation number either from +4 to-2(reduction) and +4 to+6 (oxidation)

can you tell me the equation for both reducing and oxidising property of sulphur dioxide
SO2 + 2H2S ---> 3S+2H2O in this equation so2 react as a oxidising agent
