Self help is the first rule of criminal law. The right of private defence is absolutely, necessary for the protection of one's life, liberty and property. There may be situations in life wherein help from state authorities cannot be obtained in order to repel an unlawful aggression, either because there is no time to ask for such help, or for any other reason.
