"Bhai, yeh topic bahut zaroori hai, especially for judiciary aspirants. Independent contractors ka liability negligence case me kya hota hai? To, aapko pata hona chahiye ki court kya dekh rahi hai. Waise bhi, aapko yeh samajhna hoga ki independent contractor aur employer ka kya farq hai.
Sir/madam, liability of independent contractor in negligence cases kuch zaroori jaankari hai. Contractor ko koi direct employer-ni duty nahi hoti, lekin woh apne kaam karta hi hai, aur yeh kaam risk voh uthata hai. Isliye, woh self-employed hokar bhi apni negligence ke liye responsible ho sakta hai, yeh depend karta hai apne kaam ke prakaar aur court ke faisale par.
