Directions: Each question consists of legal propositions/principles and facts. These principles have to be applied to the given facts to arrive at the most reasonable conclusion. Principle: When an act - 'which would otherwise be an off ence - is not that off ence by reason of the youth - the want of maturity of understanding - the unsoundness of mind or the intoxication of the person doing that act - every person has the same right of private defence against that act which he would have if the act were that off ence. Nothing is an off ence which is done in the exercise of the right of private defence. Facts: A - under the influence of madness - attempts to kill B. B in order to save his life causes grievous hurt to A.
