Right to Private defence of body and of property has been dealt with under :

  • A.Section 96 of IPC
  • B.Section 97 of IPC
  • C.Section 98 of IPC
  • D.Section 99 of IPC

Answer: B

It is dealt with under Section 97 of the IPC.

Section 97 states that every person has a right, subject to the restrictions in Section 99, to defend his own body and the body of any other person against an offence affecting the human body, and his own or another's property against theft, robbery, mischief or criminal trespass, or attempts at them.

Section 96 says only that nothing is an offence which is done in the exercise of the right of private defence. Section 98 extends the right to acts of persons of unsound mind and others without criminal capacity, and Section 99 sets the limits of the right.
