AA simple bruise that heals within ten days
BPermanent disfiguration of head or face
CEmasculation
DPermanent privation of the sight of either eye
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. A simple bruise that heals within ten days
Section 320 lists eight categories — emasculation, permanent privation of sight of either eye, of hearing of either ear, privation of any member or joint, destruction of powers of any member, permanent disfiguration of head/face, fracture or dislocation, any hurt endangering life or causing 20-day disability. A simple bruise is HURT (s319), not grievous hurt.
