 shall not be punished if his act is not immoderate.

Whoever needs to commit any act in order to protect his own or another person's right from a danger which arises from unlawful violence and is imminent, thereby acts in lawful defence and is guiltless, if his act is moderate.

In [either of] the events as prescribed in section 67 and section 68, if the offender committed the act immoderately, or beyond the necessity, or beyond the need to act for the purpose of protection, the court may punish him more lightly in any degree than that designated by the law for the offence. But if such act occurred out of excitement, alarm, or fear, the court may abstain from punishing him at all.

Whoever complies with an order of an officer shall, although the order is unlawful, not be punished if he has the duty to or honestly believes that he has the duty to comply with it, save where he knows that the order is unlawful.
