Indian Penal Code (IPC) 1860 Right of Private Defence

The right of PD of property against theft continues till :

The assistance of public authorities is obtained.

The property has been recovered.

The offender has effected his retreat with the property.

All of these.

- The right of private defence (PD) of property against theft allows a person to protect their property with reasonable force.

- Option 1: The assistance of public authorities is obtained.

- This means the right continues until the police or other authorities step in.

- Option 2: The property has been recovered.

- If the property is back with the owner, the right to defend it against theft ends.

- Option 3: The offender has effected his retreat with the property.

- When the thief escapes successfully with the stolen property, the right also ends.

- Option 4: All of these. ( Correct Answer)

- The law says the right of private defence continues until any of these situations occur; so, all options given are correct.
