106: Right Of Private Defence
Against A Deadly Assault When There Is Risk Of Harm To Innocent Person::--If in the exercise of the right of private defence against

so situated that he cannot effectually exercise that right without risk of harm
of an innocent person, his right of private defence extends to the running of
that risk.

A is attacked by a
mob who attempt to murder him. He cannot effectually exercise his right of
private defence without firing on the mob, and he cannot fire without risk of
harming young children who are mingled with the mob. A commits no offence if by
so firing he harms any of the children.
