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

Section 116 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (formerly section 320 IPC) lists eight kinds of grievous hurt, including emasculation, permanent disfiguration of the head or face, fracture or dislocation of a bone or tooth, and any hurt which causes the sufferer to be "during the space of fifteen days in severe bodily pain" or unable to follow his ordinary pursuits. Severe pain for ten days does not meet the fifteen-day mark, so it is not grievous hurt on that ground.

Under the IPC the period was twenty days; the BNS reduced it to fifteen.
