The Distinction Between Simple Hurt and Grievous Hurt: A Forensic and Jurisprudential Study

Author(s) Mr. Gurwinder Singh, Ms. Navdeep Kaur
Country India
Abstract In a criminal trial for the offences against the human body, opinion of an expert of forensic medicine becomes necessary in order to ascertain the nature of the injuries, duration of the injury, weapons etc., which have been probably used to cause the injury. The medico legal work has a great contribution in the administration of criminal justice. An injury report (wound certificate, medico legal certificate, and medico legal case (MLC) is a document prepared by the doctor in all medico legal cases. A medico legal report needs to be prepared in duplicate, with utmost care providing all necessary details. While making injury report, it is necessary to mention against every injury whether it is simple or grievous in nature but if the nature of injury cannot be immediately ascertained and some investigations are required then in that situation the patient should be kept under observation and entry to this effect should be made in the relevant column of the medico legal report. However, it is not always possible to state precisely whether the nature of injury is simple or grievous. The purpose of the present review paper is to identify the pitfalls to the medico legal experts in identifying the nature of injuries.
Keywords Forensic Medicine, Medico-Legal Report, Injury Classification, Simple Hurt, Grievous Hurt, Criminal Justice, Forensic Evidence, Medico-Legal Case (MLC).
