Ditching the Nemo Judicem Impedire Doctrine in AP LAWCET Torts
torts ap_lawcet beginner hot_takeI know it's sacrilegious to question the age-old Nemo Judicem Impedire doctrine in Torts, but here's my two paise - it's time to rethink this rigid rule in the Indian legal education system, especially for LAWCET exams. This doctrine, which prevents a person from bringing an action for a wrong when they were a wrongdoer themselves, often leads to absurd and illogical outcomes. In modern India, the focus is shifting towards victim-centered legislation and compensation for wrongful acts. By keeping this outdated doctrine, we're essentially shielding wrongdoers from accountability. It's high time to revisit our curriculum and incorporate more practical and nuanced approaches, rather than peddling outdated theories that are more suited to ancient civilizations. Bring on the outrage!
Dear friend, the Nemo Judicem Impedire doctrine is indeed a crucial concept in AP LAWCET Torts. However, its implications may not be directly applied in the LAWCET exam. It's a common law principle, but the LAWCET syllabus focuses more on Indian law. So, while understanding the doctrine is essential, focus on how it has been adapted or critiqued under Indian law, specifically in relation to our Torts Act, 1887. Practice questions will help solidify your understanding.
