Grave and sudden provocation limits liability for voluntarily causing hurt, imposing imprisonment or prescribed fines under statutory penalties. Section 122 provides that where a person voluntarily causes hurt on grave and sudden provocation, and neither intends nor knows himself likely to harm anyone other than the provocateur, punishment is limited to short-term imprisonment, a fine, or both; if the act causes grievous hurt under the same mental-state constraint, a higher term of imprisonment or a fine, or both, applies. The section is subject to the same proviso as Exception 1 of the law's exceptions.
