Introduction
Tort law may not be as widely discussed as criminal or contract law in India, but it plays a vital role in our legal system. From road accidents and medical negligence to defamation and gas leaks, tort law governs a wide range of civil wrongs where the main objective is to compensate the victim rather than punish the offender.

In this article, we break down the essentials of Tort Law in India, based on the book Introduction to Tort Law in India by Siva Prasad Bose.
