Query regarding criminal case

Sir,

I m Ms. Archana, just wanted your guidance regarding my case. I have filed a case in the police station regarding manhandling to me with a wicket stick and use of unparliamentary words by his family members. I had beaten up by wicket stick with one person. Already FIR has been lodged. My right hand got fractured in this incidence. I got the medical and xray checkup and submitted the wound certificate too to the police station . In the wound certificate the Dr. has mention about the fracture and the injury is griveance in nature. Just want to know on which section the culprit will be booked and if its proven what punishment will he get.

kindly guide me

COMMENTS

The act of squeezing the testicles of a person would be an offence of causing grievous hurt; State of Karnataka v. Shivalingaiah, (1988) Cr LJ 394: AIR 1988 SC 115.
