Ravi and Suresh got into a heated argument over a property dispute. In a fit of rage, Suresh picked up a heavy iron rod and struck Ravi on the head. As a result, Ravi suffered a severe skull fracture and was hospitalized for over three weeks. The injury caused Ravi to experience severe pain and he was unable to work during this period. Under Section 116 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita 2023, Suresh's action would be classified as causing "grievous hurt" because it involved a fracture and caused Ravi to be in severe pain and unable to follow his ordinary pursuits for more than fifteen days.

This injury would be considered "grievous hurt" under Section 116 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita 2023 because it resulted in the permanent privation of the sight of one eye.
