52. Problem: Mr. Sampath went to a party alone in his wife Sunanda's
car. He usually used his wife's car after office hours and his wife never objected to it. At the
party, he got drunk. Instead of taking the risk of driving the car, he requested his friend Mr. Vivek to drive him back
home in Sunanda's car. Mr. Vivek was quite sober since he had moderately consumed alcohol. On the way, Vivek
knocked down a boy and injured his leg. Subsequently, on behalf of the boy, a claim for compensation was brought
against Mrs. Sunanda since the car belonged to her and it was registered in her
name. The insurance company refused to pay compensation because the police
report said that the person driving the car at the time of accident had
consumed alcohol.
(a) Sunanda is liable to pay compensation. Although
she did not authorise Mr. Vivek to drive the car, which
caused the accident, it was registered in her name.
(b) Sunanda is not liable to pay compensation
because it was the liability of Mr. Sampath who had permission to drive the car. On the basis of this permission, he
had requested Mr. Vivek to drive the car at the time of the accident.
(c) Mr. Vivek is liable to compensate the boy
fully, because he was negligent in driving the car.
(d) Sunanda, Sampath and Vivek are all jointly
liable to compensate the boy.
53. Problem: During a wrestling competition organised in Chanduram
Akhada in New Delhi between X and Y, two famous wrestlers, Y died as a result of an injury
sustained during the bout. X and Y were not enemies of each other, but both of them were ambitious to achieve the
highest title in wrestling, namely, "Hind Kesari". There was some competitive spirit between them. A case is filed
against X for causing the death of Y. In the court, the referee stated that X and Y were wrestling in the usual manner.
(a) X is not guilty of causing Y's death because he
did not intend to kill Y and that there is always some risk involved in wrestling and that Y had voluntarily undertaken
that risk.
(b) X is guilty of causing Y's death because he
should have wrestled with necessary care and attention so as to avoid a serious injury to his opponent and thereby endanger
his life.
(c) X is guilty because perhaps he wanted to
eliminate his rival in the sport of wrestling so that he could easily get the highest award of "Hind Kesari".
(d) X is not guilty because Y might not have taken
proper precautions to protect himself during the wrestling competition.
