Ask FAI in your own words. It answers with the exact section and the leading judgments. - **Difference between shajjah and jurh, with examples.** - **Is section 337-A(i) PPC compoundable? Cases please.** ## What this does not mean - Shajjah covers only hurt on the head or face that is not itlaf. Hurt elsewhere on the body that leaves a mark of wound is jurh (s.337(1), s.337-B). - Hurt means harm without causing death (s.332(1)), so these sections do not deal with killing. - Qisas is not always the result. Section 337-M lists cases, such as a minor or insane offender, where arsh and a punishment fixed by the court apply instead. ## Questions people ask ### What are the types of hurt in the PPC?
