<h1>Section 37: Limits on Private Defense Against Public Servants Without Threat of Death or Grievous Hurt</h1> Section 37 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, outlines circumstances where the right of private defense is not applicable. It specifies that no right of private defense exists against acts by public servants or their directions if such acts do not cause reasonable apprehension of death or grievous hurt, even if not strictly justifiable by law. Additionally, the right is not applicable if there is time to seek protection from public authorities. The defense must not inflict more harm than necessary. The right is retained unless the defender knows or believes the act is by a public servant or under their direction.
