Consider the following statements regarding grievous
hurt under Sections 116-119 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023: Statement 1: Grievous hurt includes emasculation, loss of a limb, or permanent impairment of sight or hearing. Statement 2: A hurt is grievous only if it causes severe bodily pain lasting for more than twenty days or renders the victim unable to perform ordinary pursuits. Statement 3: Simple hurt is distinguished from grievous hurt primarily by the duration of pain and the victim's inability to engage in ordinary activities. Statement 4: Permanent injury to any sensory organ automatically constitutes grievous hurt. Which statements are correct?Solution
Section 116 of BNS, 2023 defines grievous hurt with eight categories, including emasculation, loss of a member/joint, permanent privation of sight/hearing, and permanent impairment of powers of a member. Statement 1 is correct. Statement 2 is partially correct—the definition includes hurt causing severe pain during twenty days or inability to follow ordinary pursuits, but this is one category (sixth), not the sole distinguishing feature. Statement 3 is correct as distinguishing simple hurt from grievous hurt. Statement 4 is correct—permanent injury to a sensory organ (sight or hearing) per Section 116 constitutes grievous hurt. All statements are essentially correct under the broad definition, making the answer A (Statements 1, 3, and 4) or potentially C depending on interpretation of Statement 2's precision.
