| Commencement and continuance of the right of private defence of the body |
| 102. The right of private defence of the body commences as soon as a reasonable apprehension of danger to the body arises from an attempt or a threat to commit the offence, though the offence may not have been committed; and it continues as long as such apprehension of danger to the body continues. [Indian PC 1860, s. 102] |
