Under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, which kind of hurt is not a grievous hurt?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Section 116 of the BNS (formerly section 320 IPC) classifies disfiguration of the head or face as grievous hurt only when it is permanent; worded without that qualifier, it does not amount to grievous hurt, unlike emasculation, privation of a member or joint, and fracture or dislocation of a tooth.
