Define Injury', 'Hurt' and 'Grievous Hurt'. Add a note on the medicolegal aspects of contusion.
Definitions:
Injury (IPC Section 44): Any harm illegally caused to a person’s body, mind, reputation, or property, including physical, mental, and reputational damage.
Hurt (IPC Section 319): Causing bodily pain, disease, or infirmity; less severe than grievous hurt, usually minor physical discomfort or injury.
Grievous Hurt (IPC Section 320): Severe hurt meeting criteria such as emasculation, permanent loss of sight or hearing, loss of limb/joint, disfigurement, fractures, or injury endangering life or causing 20 days of severe pain/incapacity.
Medicolegal Aspects of Contusion (Bruise):
Contusions result from blunt trauma, causing blood extravasation without skin break. They provide evidence of force, weapon type, and impact direction. Age estimation is possible via color changes (red-blue → purple → green → yellow). Severity and location indicate possible grievous hurt or abuse. Differentiating ante-mortem bruises from post-mortem lividity is critical in forensic evaluation.
