About Course

This course provides an in-depth understanding of tort law, focusing on civil wrongs and remedies available to individuals for violations of personal, property, and reputational rights.

The course also integrates two crucial areas of modern law — Motor Vehicle Accident Claims and Consumer Protection Law (2019) — enabling students to understand liability, compensation, and redressal mechanisms in real-world contexts. By blending theory with judicial precedents, this course prepares students for legal practice, policy work, and public service where protection of civil rights and remedies play a central role.
