The State Of Rajasthan vs Mst. Vidhyawati And Another on 2 February, 1962

In State of Rajasthan v. Mst. Vidhyawati, this question again came up for consideration. Sinha C.J., delivering the judgment on behalf of the court, traced the history of the present, Article 300 with reference to prior constitutional provisions and dealt with the question regarding the extent of liability of the State Government for tort in respect of the tortious acts committed by its servants. The facts of that case were that a jeep supplied by the State to the Collector when driven back from the repair shop to the Collector's office met with an accident and the question arose whether the driver of the vehicle while returning back four the workshop, was doing any act in connection with the exercise of sovereign power of the State. Their Lordships held that the State is liable for the damages occasioned and that no protection could be claimed by the State.
