| Burden of proving that case of accused comes within exceptions |
107. When a person is accused of any offence, the burden of proving the existence of circumstances bringing the case within any of the general exceptions in the Penal Code 1871, or within any special exception or proviso contained in any other part of the Penal Code 1871, or in any law defining the offence, is upon the person, and the court is to presume the absence of such circumstances.
