26-May-2025 (In Criminal Law)
If a student got hit by a own college bus inside the college campus.
If a student is injured by their own college bus within the campus, the institution and the transport operator may be held liable under tort law and negligence. The college owes a duty of care to its students. Legal remedies include filing a police complaint for rash and negligent driving (Sections 279 and 337 IPC), initiating a claim before the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal (MACT), and possibly pursuing compensation under consumer protection or civil liability for negligence. Engaging our legal team ensures a thorough investigation, evidence collection, and strategic representation to secure rightful compensation.

The claimant (accident victim) typically needs to prove that the vehicle involved in the accident was driven rashly and negligently, or that the accident was caused by the negligence of the driver or owner.

If a student is hit by their own college bus inside the campus, the college may be held legally liable. The institution has a duty of care to ensure safety within its premises. If the bus driver was negligent, the college can be held vicariously liable. The injured student can file an FIR under Sections 279 and 338 IPC for rash and negligent driving. Additionally, the student may file a compensation claim before the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal (MACT). A separate civil suit for damages may also be pursued if the injury is serious. The college is expected to conduct an internal inquiry and take disciplinary action if needed. The student’s legal rights remain intact, and remedies are available through both criminal and civil law.
