Under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, which one of the following is not an illustration of grievous hurt?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Under Section 116(h) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, the duration alternative requires severe bodily pain, or inability to follow ordinary pursuits, during the space of fifteen days (twenty days under the former section 320 IPC). Ten days alone does not satisfy it, though danger to life or another listed category can independently make the hurt grievous. Permanent privation of the sight of either eye, fracture or dislocation of a bone or tooth, and permanent disfiguration of the head or face are expressly listed kinds of grievous hurt.
