What punishment can someone face for hurting a public servant while they are doing their job?

In detail

Section 121 says that if a person deliberately hurts a public servant while that servant is carrying out official duties, or if the person intends to stop or scare the servant or others from doing their job, the law treats it as a crime. For ordinary hurt, the court can sentence the offender to up to five years in prison, a monetary fine, or both. If the injury is serious enough to be called grievous hurt, the punishment is harsher: the offender must serve at least one year in prison, but the sentence can go up to ten years, and a fine is also required. The section does not limit the fine amount; it can be added to the prison term. The law covers both the act of hurting and the intent to deter the public servant from performing duties. The provision applies regardless of the public servant's rank or the nature of the duty. It also covers situations where the injury occurs because of an attempt to stop the servant from acting lawfully.
