various concepts have been evolved such as the concept of duty of care which is elaborated in
this project work. The nature of the duty of care has changed with time.With the changing nature
of duty of care its scope has also widened so as to include the concept of Standard of care and
Reasonable man and the concept of risk. Thus the changing nature of duty of care has brought
about a change in its scope that is the scope has widened. Duty of care has emerged as an
essential ingredient of tort and now forms an indispensable element in determining the liability.
