Introduction to Tort Law in India

By Siva Prasad Bose

Tort law shapes everyday life in India, from slip-and-fall accidents and noisy neighbors to online defamation and state negligence. Yet for most people, it remains an unfamiliar corner of the legal system. Introduction to Tort Law in India changes that.

Written in plain language and grounded in the Indian legal context, this book walks you through the full landscape of civil wrongs, what they are, how courts handle them, and what remedies are available to you. Whether you're a law student, a legal professional, or simply someone who wants to understand your rights, this book is built for you.

What's Inside

Drawing on real case laws and practical examples, the book covers the core torts - negligence, nuisance, defamation, trespass, and malicious prosecution - alongside important topics like vicarious liability, constitutional torts, and consumer protection. A dedicated chapter on emerging digital-age torts addresses online defamation, AI liability, environmental harm, and the growing intersection of technology and civil rights.

The book also includes procedural essentials: how the Code of Civil Procedure applies to tort claims, how to send a legal notice, and how to navigate both civil and criminal dimensions of a tort.
