The answer is: B
Explanation
The correct option is B: Sections 96-106.
These sections of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 contain provisions relating to the right of private defence available to every citizen of India. This right can only be exercised in case of imminent danger and state support or assistance is not available.
Section 97 specifies that the right of private defence can be categorised into two types: the right of private defence of the body and the right of private defence of property.
The term “body” refers to one’s own physical being or the body of another person, while “property” encompasses both movable and immovable possessions belonging to oneself or someone else. The right of private defence is essential for safeguarding one’s life, freedom, and property and is an inherent right for individuals. However, using force to protect one’s person or property is meticulously regulated by the law and must adhere to specific criteria. This right is commonly referred to as the right of private defence.
