hello sir/maam,
as i gather from your query, you might want to search about the general exceptions provided in the indian penal code
the sections which provide such exceptions are from section 76 to 106 .
the general exceptions which are available to the accused to escape liability or save himself from the offence committed. It may extend to even causing the death of a person or harm an innocent person too depending upon the circumstances. The accused should also have the right to be heard, keeping in view the democratic character of our nation. That’s why these exceptions are provided so as to represent oneself in the court of law.
i hope this helps you in your query.
regards,
