Explanation
Punishment under Section 325 IPC
Section 325 of the Indian Penal Code provides for the punishment of grievous hurt. It states that :-
“Whoever, except in the case provided for by Section 335, voluntarily causes grievous hurt, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to seven years, and shall also be liable to fine.”
In simple words, causing grievous hurt to someone is considered to be a somewhat serious crime in India and is cognizable in nature. Cognizable offences can be defined as a privilege that the law provides to a police officer which allows him to make an arrest without a warrant from a court. It is, however, bailable and compoundable at the discretion of the court. It is important to remember that in case a person gets convicted for this crime, he/she will be imprisoned for a term which may extend up to seven years and shall also be liable to a fine.
