Which one of the following cases relates to right of private defence ?

In Jai Dev v. State of Punjab (1963), the Supreme Court explained the limits of the right of private defence under sections 96 to 106 of the Indian Penal Code. The right is defensive, not punitive, and once the threat has been removed and the danger is over, there is no occasion to exercise it.

Mithu v. State of Punjab struck down section 303, K.M. Nanavati v. State of Maharashtra concerns grave and sudden provocation, and Kedar Nath Singh v. State of Bihar upheld the sedition offence in a narrowed form.

Current law: the right of private defence is now in sections 34 to 44 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023.
