Hurt

Causing bodily pain, disease or infirmity to any person is treated as an offence here. It applies whenever one person inflicts physical pain, illness or weakness on another, whether temporary or lasting. The consequence is that the act is legally classified and may be prosecuted under the penal law.

Ravi shoves his neighbour during an argument, causing bruises and continued pain. That pain and injury count as causing bodily pain or disease, so Ravi’s conduct falls under this provision and can lead to legal action.
