Under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, any hurt is a grievous hurt which endangers life or which causes the sufferer to be during the space of _______ days in severe bodily pain, or unable to follow his ordinary pursuits

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

The period is fifteen days under the eighth category of grievous hurt in section 116 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (formerly twenty days under section 320 IPC). Severe bodily pain or inability to follow ordinary pursuits must persist for that period. A hurt that endangers life qualifies independently; it does not have to satisfy the fifteen-day condition.
