Hello Sir, it seems like you are asking a question to judge the efficiency of the advocates. If you have any such doubts regarding any provision of IPC you should clear it from your teachers, it is not a platform to clarify your doubts. Please clarify your doubts from your teachers or from your seniors don't waste the time of advocates.

A person who kills anyone in his self-defense falls under the category of exemption to the Section 300 IPC. The above said section says that the Culpable homicide is not murder if the offender in the exercise in good faith of the right of private defence of person or property, exceeds the power given to him by law and causes the death of the person against whom he is exercising such right of defence without premeditation, and without any intention of doing more harm than is necessary for the purpose of such defence.
