In which set of Sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 even death can be caused in exercise of right to private defence of person and property?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Section 38 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (formerly section 100 IPC) lists the assaults against which the right of private defence of the body extends to causing death, and section 41 lists the offences against property for which the right of private defence of property extends to causing death; hence "Sections 38 and 41". Both are subject to the limits in section 37. Sections 39 and 42 cover cases where only harm other than death may be caused, and sections 40 and 43 deal with when the rights begin and how long they continue.
