As far as I know, a private individual is authorized to fire to kill/injure as allowed by sections 96 to 106 IPC. Under what sections of law police/paramilitary can fire to kill/injure someone. In other words police/paramilitary are provided weapons to be used under what sections of law?

No such section exists in IPC but Cr. P. C. and particular acts applicable to paramilitary forces contain such provisions.
