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

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Section 116 of the BNS treats as grievous any hurt which endangers life or which causes the sufferer to be "during the space of fifteen days in severe bodily pain, or unable to follow his ordinary pursuits". Ten days of pain falls short of that, while hurt endangering life, permanent loss of sight of either eye and privation of any member or joint are all grievous.
