Employer must provide a 'reasonable' place to work and 'reasonable' tools for work. In this case, an employer was asked to pay damages for not providing a safe working environment. Employer's negligence resulted in a workplace accident.
What do you all think? Was it fair to hold the employer liable? I mean, tum log toh mock tests dete ho, iska kya connection hai? Can an employer be responsible for unforeseen circumstances?
Let's hear your thoughts - agree or disagree with the judgment. CUET PG Law kaa context mein kya hai?

Bhai, curtain call on Carroll vs. Arkwright (1870) is a landmark case for sure! But was it fair yaar? I strongly disagree. The case allowed children as young as 9 to work in textile mills for 16 hours a day, which is pure exploitation! It's a stark reminder of our country's dark industrial past. Not proud of this judgement, honestly.
