Right of Private defence is available only to the defender and not to the offender. Explain this statement with the help of examples.

The expression ‘private defence’ that has been used in the Indian Penal Code, 1860, has not been defined therein. Thus, it has been the prerogative of the judiciary to evolve a workable framework for the exercise of the right. Thus in India, the right of private defence is the right to defend the person or property of himself or of any other person against an act of another, which if the private defence is not pleaded would have amounted to a crime. This right therefore creates an exception to criminal liability. Some of the aspects of the right of private defence under the IPC are that no right of self-defence can exist against an unarmed and unoffending individual, the right is available against the aggressor only and it is only the person who is in imminent danger of person or property and only when no state help is available. The right of private defence is a natural right which is evinced from particular circumstances rather than being in the nature of a privilege.

However, the most important principle is that the right of private defence requires that the force used in the defence should be necessary and reasonable in the circumstances. But, in the moments of disturbed mental condition, this cannot be measured in golden scales. Whether the case of necessity exists must be determined from the viewpoint of the accused and his act must be viewed in the light of the circumstances as they appear on such occasion.
