Drafting Jurisdiction Statement Tips
Summary
Drafting a statement of jurisdiction involves specifying the legal basis for the courts jurisdiction, referencing relevant statutes, and including necessary facts. Article 226 of the Indian Constitution allows High Courts to issue writs for enforcing fundamental rights. In road accident cases, the states negligence can be argued under Article 21, with case laws like M.C. Mehta v. Union of India supporting the right to safe road conditions. Compensation claims under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, typically refer to Section 166. The Public Liability Insurance Act, 1991, mandates insurance for hazardous substances, imposing strict liability. To argue against state liability in landslides, consider the Act of God defense.Full Conversation
