Question

Some of the acts fall under the category of crime and tort. Find the odd one?

• A. Nuisance
• B. Culpable Homicide
• C. Defamation
• D. Negligence

Hint:

Torts are civil wrongs focused on compensation; crimes like culpable homicide involve punishment by the state.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Tort law typically addresses civil wrongs that result in harm or loss, providing compensation to the affected party. Common examples of torts include:
- Nuisance (interference with someone's enjoyment of property)
- Defamation (harm to a person’s reputation)
- Negligence (breach of duty causing harm)
Culpable Homicide, however, is a criminal offence under the Indian Penal Code and involves the act of causing death through illegal means, making it purely a criminal matter, not a tort. Therefore, it stands out as the odd one in the list, which otherwise includes civil wrongs (torts).
