Question

Which of the following does not fall within the category of grievous hurt ?

• A. Emasculation
• B. Privation of any joint
• C. Disfiguration of chest
• D. Dislocation of tooth

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The question presented is about identifying which option does not fall under the legal category of "grievous hurt." In the context of legal studies, "grievous hurt" refers to injuries that severely affect the victim's body or mind, as outlined in legal codes such as the Indian Penal Code (IPC). Typically, this includes injuries that are permanent, cause severe physical damage, or result in long-term health issues.

Options	Analysis
Emasculation	This is considered grievous hurt as it results in the removal of an individual's reproductive organ, causing permanent disability and severe bodily harm.
Privation of any joint	This refers to the loss of function of a joint, which is classified as grievous hurt because it causes permanent impairment of bodily function.
Disfiguration of chest	This involves injury that disfigures the chest but does not necessarily cause permanent loss of bodily function or result in severe trauma, thereby not fitting the typical legal definition of grievous hurt.
Dislocation of tooth	Considered grievous hurt as it causes permanent loss and affects physical appearance and functionality.

The correct answer is: Disfiguration of chest. This is the option that does not fit within the traditional definitions of grievous hurt, as it primarily involves aesthetic injury without causing severe, permanent damage or loss of function.
