Indian Penal Code (IPC) 1860 Introduction and Definition

Give best response about the justification of vicarious liability in crimes.

The justification of the doctrine of vicarious liability is based on public policy that a person may properly be punished for the crime of his subordinate servants, or agents because the threat of such punishment may induce him and others to exercise supervision over the subordinates and to make efforts to prevent the commission of the crime.

The expectation that the vicarious punishment of those whom he holds dear will deter the criminal himself.

Vicarious liability is necessary because the servants pocket is usually too shallow to bear the damages that he may negligently occasion.

It is more convenient to punish the master for his failure to prevent the servant from committing unauthorized crimes.
