Chapter IV (general exception), section 96 to 106 explain the provision of the Right of private defense. The right of private defense rests on the general principle that where a crime is endeavored to be committed by force, it is lawful to repel that force in self defense.
Basic Principle: self preservation is the private instinct of every human being. Every man has the right of private defense his own body, property and the body and property of his nearer. This basic principle has been recognized in the IPC to give protection to the wrong doer, who commits a criminal act in the course of protecting his person, property, body and property of his nearest.
Russel: Justified the killing of an aggressor, against the exercise of the right of private defense for saving her body and property.
Bantham also justified the principle of self preservation in his principle of penal code, he admit that Magistrate (State) is not such capable to vigilance (save) every individual, nor the fear of law can restrain bad men as the fear of the sum total of individual resistance.
Right to private defense and IPC.
S.96, define that nothing is an office which is done in the exercise of the right of private defense, which lays done the general rule on the right of private defense. While S.97 which deals with the subject matter of the right of private defense of body and property and lays down the extent of the right of private defense, proclaims that every person, subject to restrictions contained in S.99, has a right to defend his own body and the body of another , against any office affecting human, and right to defend the property of his own and his nearer or any other person against any act which is an offence falling under the definition of theft, robbery, mischief, or criminal trespass. and S.99 lists the situation wherein the right to private defense of body as well as property is not available to an individual, s102 and s105 deal with commencement and continuation of right to private defense of body and property.

It is neither a right of aggression nor a reprisal. Its exercise cannot be vindictive or malicious.
