Give most correct response. The accused M had an intrigue with Sudha wife of A. One night Sudha and A were sleeping in a house about eighthly paces away from the place where M slept. In the early morning Sudha left her cot to visit M, the accused. A missed her, and suspecting where she had gone followed her with a hatchet. He assaulted the accused M and wounded him whereupon the accused M stabbed A with a knife and killed him. There was no evidence that causing of death of assailant A was necessary for the purposes of defence. In this case the liability of M is as follows :

M has inflicted injury in self defence so he will not be liable.

Since M had not established that voluntarily causing the death of A was necessary for the purposes of defence he will be liable for murder.

M will not be liable because he had no intention to kill, instead A himself was the aggressor.

M will be liable because he has put himself in such a situation by entering into illicit relation with A’s wife that he could not claim the right of private defence.
