hi,
can you please give me clarification on the principle of group liability in criminal law.
As per S.34 of IPC, one is liable for the criminal acts of another, if done with common intention.
this is the principle of group liability.
1. then can it be applied in cases of vicarious liability also e.g. in case of master and servant, employer and employee, corporation and its director etc.? please specify with reasons.
2. can the principle of group liability also includes strict or statutory liability as in the case of Rylands V/s Fletcher?
can it also includes absolute liability?
Pls specify with reasons, as early as possible?
thanks in advance.
