Z threats A to kill under the influence of madness, A has

Option A: The same right of private defense which he would have if Z, were same

Option B: No right of private defence against Z because Z was under the influence of madness

Option C: No right of private defence because A has time to have recourse to the protection of the public authority

Option D: No right of private defence because an act of insane is not an offence

Correct Answer

Option: a

Explanation

When an act, which would otherwise be a certain offence, is not that offence, by reason of the youth, the want of maturity of understanding, the unsoundness of mind or the intoxication of the person doing that act, or by reason of any misconception on the part of that person, every person has the same right of private defence against that act which he would have if the act were that offence
