Rajesh, a wealthy businessman, and his longtime friend, Sanjay, have been engaged

in a bitter dispute over a lucrative business deal. The disagreement escalated to the
point where Rajesh accused Sanjay of embezzling funds from their joint venture.
Despite attempts at reconciliation, tensions between the two continued to mount.
One evening, Rajesh organized a meeting at his mansion to discuss a potential
resolution to their conflict. Unbeknownst to Sanjay, Rajesh had hired a group of goons
to intimidate him into confessing to the alleged embezzlement. As the meeting
progressed, emotions flared, and the discussion turned into a heated argument.

In a fit of rage, one of the hired thugs, armed with a deadly weapon, lashed out and
struck Sanjay with fatal force, causing him severe head injuries. Despite immediate
medical attention, Sanjay succumbed to his injuries shortly after.

DISCUSS THE LIABILITY OF RAJESH AND GOON

In a bustling city in India, two neighbors, Raj and Amit, have been embroiled in a
longstanding dispute over a property boundary. The tension between them has
escalated over time, fuelled by heated arguments and occasional altercations. One
fateful evening, their disagreement reaches a boiling point.

Raj, feeling increasingly agitated by Amit's encroachment on what he believes is his


property, confronts Amit outside their homes. Tempers flare, and a verbal altercation
quickly turns physical. In a fit of rage, Raj grabs a nearby blunt object and strikes Amit
on the head repeatedly, causing fatal injuries. Amit collapses unconscious on the
ground, and despite efforts to seek medical help, he succumbs to his injuries before
reaching the hospital.

On a sunny afternoon in the quaint town of Willowvale, a bustling farmer's market


was in full swing. Families strolled leisurely among the stalls, enjoying the sights and
sounds of the lively marketplace. Amidst the crowd, the acccused, operated a vintage
steam-powered carousel, a beloved attraction at the market.

The Incident:

As the carousel whirled with laughter and excitement, the defendant, distracted by
the joyous atmosphere, failed to notice a loose bolt on the ride's mechanism. Ignoring
maintenance protocols, the defendant neglected to secure the bolt, believing it to be a
minor issue. However, as the carousel spun faster, the loose bolt gave way, causing
the ride to malfunction.

Tragic Outcome:

In the chaos that ensued, several riders were thrown from their seats, sustaining
injuries as they collided with the ride's metal structure. Among the injured was a
young child, Sarah, who suffered a fractured arm and head trauma. Despite prompt
medical attention, Sarah's injuries left her hospitalized and in critical condition.
Background:

On a tranquil summer evening in the picturesque town of Willowdale, residents were


enjoying a community festival in the town square. The atmosphere was festive, with
music, food stalls, and laughter filling the air. Amidst the celebration, tragedy struck
when a series of events unfolded that would forever change the lives of those
involved.

The Incident:

As dusk descended and the festivities reached their peak, a hot air balloon ride was
offered to festival attendees as a thrilling attraction. The balloon, operated by the
accused, soared gracefully into the sky, carrying passengers on a breathtaking journey
above the town. However, what began as an exhilarating adventure soon turned into
a nightmare.

Tragic Outcome:

In a harrowing turn of events, the hot air balloon, piloted by the accused, encountered
unexpected turbulence due to inclement weather conditions. Despite warnings from
aviation authorities and experienced balloon operators to suspend flights during
adverse weather, the accused proceeded with the ride, disregarding the potential
risks.

As the balloon descended rapidly, panic ensued among the passengers. Efforts to
stabilize the balloon proved futile, and it crash-landed in a nearby field, resulting in
the tragic death of one of the passengers. The serene evening was shattered by the
sound of the impact, and the once joyous festival turned into a scene of chaos and
grief.
