Explanation:

Section 103 of the Indian Penal Code specifies the offenses against property where the right of private defence extends to causing death. These include robbery, house-breaking by night, and mischief by fire (on a dwelling/custody place). Simple house trespass, by itself, does not give rise to the right to cause death. The right to cause death in cases of house-trespass only arises if the circumstances are such as to cause a reasonable apprehension of death or grievous hurt (as per the Fourthly and Sixthly clauses of Section 103).
