Directions: Choose the best option.
The right to private defence is available with respect to
  1. Harm to the human body only
  2. Harm to movable property only
  3. Harm to immovable property only
  4. Harm to the body, to movable property and to immovable property

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: D - Harm to the body, to movable property and to immovable property
Under ss.34-44 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (formerly ss.96-106 IPC) the right of private defence covers the body and property, both movable and immovable, so it extends to all three kinds of harm. Each of the first three options leaves out part of that coverage.
