Abstract

It is common practice throughout the country that while doing medicolegal examination, the doctors on seeing cut on the bone with naked eye declare the injury as grievous, without X-ray examination for ascertaining the extent of the cut. In the eyes of the doctor cut means fracture, but this cut does not find a place under Seventh Clause of Section 320 IPC describing the grievous hurt. So various courts have disagreed with the doctor and declared such an injury simple in nature.
