Sir,
A person is hit by a stick on his eyes.There was a Choroidal tear. His vision in the injured eye at that time was 6/18. In few days his vision deterriorated to 6/60 and now it is 6/36.
Now my question is,
Whether this injury amounts to grevious injury or simple injury.
How this grevious and simple injury are determined.
Please give if there is any relative decisions.
Please answer. Thanks in advance.
