    Solution

    S. 92. Act done in good faith for benefit of a person without consent.— Nothing is an offence by reason of any harm which it may cause to a person for whose benefit it is done in good faith, even without that person's consent, if the circumstances are such that it is impossible for that person to signify consent, or if that person is incapable of giving consent, and has no guardian or other person in lawful charge of him from whom it is possible to obtain consent in time for the thing to be done with benefit Explanation clause appended to S. 92 covers this part. Explanation.—Mere pecuniary benefit is not benefit within the meaning of sections 88, 89 and 92.
