In which one of the following cases the right of private defence of body does not extend to causing of death? (A) Assault with the intention of committing kidnapping (B) Assault with the intention of gratifying unnatural lust (C) Wrongful restraint (D) Assault with the intention of committing abduction
Explanation:
Section 100 of the Indian Penal Code enumerates specific situations where the right of private defence of the body extends to voluntarily causing death. These include assault with intent to commit kidnapping, abduction, or gratifying unnatural lust. Wrongful restraint (Section 339 IPC) is not one of these specified situations. The right of private defence against wrongful restraint would generally allow for causing harm short of death, as per Section 102/104, but not death itself.
