ABOUT THE BOOK
The Ninth Edition of this book has been revised and brought up-to-date by incorporating all important recent decisions of the courts. Torts is a developing branch of law. The courts are attempting through a number of cases to compensate the violation of civil rights of individuals and laying down certain new principles of law applicable to the tort cases, particularly in the following areas: Vicarious Liability, liability under the Motor Vehicles Act, liability of medical practitioners and the Consumer Law. Lucid and elegant exposition of law bearing on the topic of torts along with sound judgements, this book would prove highly useful to all who wish to acquire knowledge of this subject particularly to students and even to legal practitioners.
