<h1>Section 117: Up to 7 Years Jail for Voluntarily Causing Grievous Hurt; Life Sentence for Severe Outcomes</h1> Section 117 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, addresses the offense of voluntarily causing grievous hurt. It defines the act as causing harm with the intention or knowledge of likely causing grievous hurt, even if the resulting hurt is of a different kind. The law prescribes up to seven years of imprisonment and a fine for such offenses, with harsher penalties, including life imprisonment, for causing permanent disability or a persistent vegetative state. Additionally, when five or more individuals act together to cause grievous hurt based on discriminatory grounds, each is liable for similar punishment.
