Mistake of Fact in Law: Sections 14 & 17 by aryamannat009 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Sections 14 and 17 of the BNS provide defenses for individuals who commit acts that would otherwise be offenses due to a mistake of fact, believing in good faith that they are bound or justified by law. The mistake must be reasonable, and the act must be legal if the supposed facts were true. Mistakes of law are not protected, and acts done under superior orders are only protected if the orders are lawful.
