 law of torts in india

Tort law in India is a relatively new common law

development supplemented by codifying statutes
including statutes governing damages.
 Sources of law
Statutes
Similar to other common law countries, aspects of tort law have been
codified. Furthermore, the Indian Penal Code criminalises certain areas of
tort law.
Common law
As tort law is a relatively young area of law in India, apart from referring to
local judicial precedents, courts have readily referred to case law from other
common law jurisdictions, such as UK, Australia, and Canada.
Relocal customs and practices
However, attention is given to local socio-cultural practices and conditions
in applying foreign legal principles. The legislature have also created
statutes to provide for certain social conditions; for example, due to the
nature of Indian families, a statute was passed to simplify determination of
damages in the event of family members
