TS LAWCET MCQ: Vicarious Liability Ka Dabava

torts ts_lawcet beginner mcq_debate

I and my friend Pritam, woh toh ek aisa hai jaise ek lawyer ki dukaan hai, disagree on a MCQ from Law of Torts. Question hai: 'R, a shopkeeper's son, while playing cricket in the shop's premises, accidentally knocks down and kills his friend P.' Shopkeeper A is liable for P's death?

Pritam ka kaha: 'Arre, vicarious liability ke anusaar, A shopkeeper A hai, woh iske son ka liability bharne wala hai. Koi baat nahin ki khelne ka, yeh bhi ek office work hai.'

Mujhe toh lagta hai ki Pritam galat hai! 'Vicarious liability' toh kiski wajah se hai, koi baat nahin ki khelne ka.

Guys, yaar, don't worry about vicarious liability. It's pretty straightforward. Essentially, employer ya organization ko employee ke wrong actions ke liye punish kiya jaata hai. Think of it like - company se bus gadi lekar, driver ko panga lena, company ko bhi kuchh jaanwa hai. Simple, right?
