Considering the Novel Nature of This Axiom and its Match With the Latest Subjects in Political-Social Terms, it is Posited That What are the Examples of This Maxim in Iran’s Penal Regulations and That Can the Citizens’ Rights be Trampled With the Excuse of Repelling the Worst by the Worse? It can be Expressed That This Axiom is Overlapping With Such Other Maxims as Legitimate Defense, Citizenship Rights, Legal Authorities’ Instructions, Enforcement of the Most Important Rule and Urgency in the Penal Laws.
