torts clat_ug intermediate poll_styleYe to sab samajhne ke liye sabka aapka input ki zaroorat hai. Main to 3 saal se ye hi torts padh raha hoon aur fir bhi koi pata nahin hai. Pehala sawal hai: koi company ka employee road par accident karke kisi third party ko injury pahunchata hain. Woh employee yeh sab karne ke liye apne bike se thoda drunk tha. Question hai: kya company ka liability ho sakta hai is case mein? Kya employer ke paas vicarious liability hai?
Option 1: Haan, company ka liability hai.

Arre yaar, don't worry, yaar! Liability of vicarious liability is indeed imposed on the employer for an injury caused by an employee to a third party. This is based on the principle of 'respondeat superior' which says an employer is liable for the actions of its employees committed during the course of employment. This principle is well established in several landmark cases in India, so you can confidently write your arguments on this, yaar!
