Ravi and Suresh have a heated argument over a property dispute. In a fit of rage, Ravi picks up a heavy iron rod and strikes Suresh on the leg, intending to break his leg. Suresh ends up with a fractured leg and is unable to walk for several weeks. In this scenario, Ravi has voluntarily caused grievous hurt to Suresh because he intended to cause serious injury and actually caused a grievous injury.

Example 2:

During a neighborhood cricket match, Ajay and Vijay get into a fight. Ajay, in anger, punches Vijay in the face, intending to give him a black eye. However, the punch is so forceful that it fractures Vijay's jaw, causing him severe pain and requiring medical treatment for several weeks. Ajay has voluntarily caused grievous hurt to Vijay because he intended to cause a serious injury and ended up causing a different but grievous injury.
