The Law of Torts -Dr.R.K Bangia

Bangia on Torts is arguably the most widely prescribed torts textbook in Indian legal education — the book most LLB students meet in their very first semester. The 27th edition, revised by S.K. Raghuvanshi, integrates the statutory landscape a modern torts paper demands: the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 with amendments up to 2019, the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 with amendments up to 2024, and the Competition Act, 2002 with 2023 amendments.

Classic ground — negligence, nuisance, defamation, strict and absolute liability, vicarious liability — is developed through the landmark cases from Rylands v. Fletcher to M.C. Mehta, each stated with the crisp precision that has made “Bangia” shorthand for torts in Indian law colleges for two generations.
