Under section 98 of the Indian Penal Code, the right to private defence is available against acts done by a person of unsound mind or a person who does not have the maturity of understanding, such as a child. This section provides that the right of private defence is equally applicable against such individuals, as it recognizes the necessity of self-protection against harm, regardless of the aggressor's mental state or age.
