Grievous hurt is formally defined by Section 320 of the Penal Code as any injury falling into one of eight particularly severe categories. Only these kinds of hurt qualify as “grievous”:
1. Emasculation
2. Permanent privation of the sight of either eye
3. Permanent privation of the hearing of either ear
4. Privation (loss) of any member or joint
5. Destruction or permanent impairment of the powers of any member or joint
6. Permanent disfiguration of the head or face
7. Fracture or dislocation of a bone or tooth
8. Any hurt which endangers life—or causes the sufferer to be for twenty days in severe bodily pain or unable to follow his ordinary pursuits.
These features distinguish grievous from simple hurt by emphasizing permanence (loss of faculties or structure), severity (life-endangering or protracted pain), and functional incapacity.
