Dear client,
No, in such circumstances you can not shoot any one.
you can exercise the 'right of private defence' in a condition where the offender is going to attack upon you with a dangerous weapon and you will die if remain silent.

You can take appropriate action if someone enter your house to harm you. Yes you can shoot him also in case he takes out some arm to harm you. In case he can be over powered, you don't have to kill him. You can immobile him to take any action. If something has happened like that, pl. call to discuss to enable us to give you a most suitable reply.

Sir/Madam
The right to private defence is available under the Indian Penal Code, however, the situation as enumerated by you needs to considered in factual matrix as it would be attracting various provisions under IPC. For further queries, kindly contact the undersigned.
