Abstract

70 year-old-male admitted with burns allegedly as a result of pouring of hot oil over his abdomen. Total percentage of burnt area was around 20% only. Declaration of nature of injury was the question for discussion as it was not coming exactly under the purview of any of the clause of section 320 IPC.
