Explanation:
Section 76 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) provides a general exception for acts done by a person who is bound by law to do it, or who, by reason of a mistake of fact and not a mistake of law, in good faith believes himself to be bound by law to do it. A soldier acting under lawful orders of his superior officers, in conformity with the commands of the law, falls under this exception.
