The term administration refers to the state or government's liability for the torts committed by its servants, which is a complicated issue, especially in developing countries with expanding state activities.

Vicarious Liability refers to situations in which one party is held responsible for the actions of another. As a result, in a case of vicarious liability, both the individual and the other are responsible for the actions of the other. In a case of vicarious liability, both the person who orders the act and the person who performs the act are responsible. As a result, employers are held vicariously responsible for the torts incurred by their workers while on the job. The constitution's position on state liability is as follows: Clause (1) of article 300 states that the government of India can sue or be sued in the name of the union of India and the government of the state. Since the administration's liability today is in direct succession to that of the East India company, it is essential to understand the liability criteria of the administration today. East India Company was established as a commercial entity, but it eventually gained sovereignty. The distinction between sovereign and non-sovereign roles is made by political forces.”
