Tort Liability for Pure Economic Loss
torts clat_ug intermediate definition_doubtMain problem with this chapter is, textbooks kehne ki tort liability for pure economic loss only hai when there's negligence or breach of duty. Lekin real-life examples aur judgments toh bahut confusion daalgate hain. Papa ne mujhe kaha, "Beta, yeh concept kaafi mushkil hai. Ek example dekh lo." Unhone mujhe Supreme Court ka case 'Mangalore Seeds v/s APMC' diya. Yeh 1990 ke case hai jismein apni produce ko khatam hone par farmer ne APMC par case kiya. Lekin Supreme Court ne APMC ki responsibility se inka claim reject kar diya. Kya yeh theek hua? Kya yeh pure economic loss ka case hai ya nahi? Koi real-life example aur case reference zaroor dungi?

"Tort liability for pure economic loss is a bit tricky sab log. According to the Lloyd's of London v. Norris (1939) case, pure economic loss is not recoverable as damages. But, with the advent of the Indian Contract Act, 1872, and the principles of Rylands v. Fletcher (1868), courts have been flexible in their approach. Notably, in the case of Ramnath Goenka v. Indian Express Newspapers (1982), the SC allowed recovery of pure economic loss where there was a direct infringement of rights.
Kya yeh sambhav hai koi bhi court apne vartavya nuksan ke liye tort liability ka dharna kar sakta hai? mujhe lagta hai nahi, kyunki pure economic loss visheshagya terms mein hai, jiska arth hota hai vartavya nuksan. Lekin humare IPC ka section 92 ye samajhata hai ki only physical damage ke liye hi tort liability hoti hai.
