Forms of Severe Harm or Injury
In India, the production, sale, distribution, and possession of medicines and poisons are governed by several legislative acts. One such act is the Drugs Act, 1940, while the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940, and the Poison Act, 1919, are also significant in this regard.
The Indian Penal Code, 1860, classifies Hurt into simple and grievous to punish the accused for his crime. According to this law, a grievous hurt includes:
- Emasculation
- Permanent privation of the sight of either eye
- Permanent privation of the hearing of either ear
- Privation of any member or joint
- Destruction or permanent impairing of the powers of any member or joint
- Sixth, permanent disfiguration of the head or face
- Fracture or dislocation of a bone or tooth
- Any hurt which endangers life or which causes the sufferer to be during the space of twenty days in severe bodily pain, or unable to follow his ordinary pursuits
These grievous hurts are severe injuries that carry heavy penalties for the accused.
The Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940, and the Poison Act, 1919, are instrumental in regulating the control and licensing related to medicines and toxic substances in India. The government has introduced limitations on the production, sale, distribution, and possession of drugs and poisons through these acts, ensuring safety and efficacy.
The Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act also plays a crucial role in regulating and controlling the production, distribution, and possession of narcotic and psychotropic substances in India.
In conclusion, the Indian legal system takes the regulation of medicines and poisons seriously, with several acts in place to ensure safety and punish those who cause grievous harm. Understanding these acts is essential for maintaining a healthy and safe society.
