2. Question
Consider the following regarding ‘strict liability principle’:
1. Under this principle, a party/company in a hazardous industry has to mandatorily pay compensation, whether or not the disaster was caused by its negligence.
2. The National Green Tribunal Act incorporates the strict liability principle.
Which of the above is/are correct?
Correct
(d) Neither statement 1 nor statement 2 is correct
Under ‘strict liability principle’ a company is not liable and need not pay compensation if a hazardous substance escapes its premises by accident.
The Supreme Court, in the MC Mehta case (1987), found this principle inadequate to protect citizen’s rights and replaced it with the ‘absolute liability principle’.
Under ‘absolute liability principle’, a company in a hazardous industry cannot claim any exemption – it has to mandatorily pay compensation, whether or not the disaster was caused by its negligence. The National Green Tribunal Act of 2010 incorporates the absolute liability principle.
