about punishment

what will be the punishment of section 323?

Quick Summary

Section 323 deals with voluntarily causing hurt. If convicted, the punishment can range from a jail sentence of up to one year to a maximum fine of Rs. 1000, or both. First-time offenders may be eligible for probation, and conviction doesn't necessarily prevent eligibility for government jobs. The offence can also be settled if the complainant agrees to a compromise.
