example, when a boxer steps into the ring, physical contact is expected due to the nature of the

sport. By entering the playing arena, the player accepts a level of violence that is not acceptable

CIVIL LIABILITY:

Civil liability gives a person rights to obtain redressal from another person, i.e. the ability to sue
for damages or personal injury. For an award of damages, the injured party has to suffer an
actual loss. The scope of civil liability is much wider than criminal liability as civil law does not
require mens rea i.e., an intention to cause harm. Civil liability is founded in law of torts,
whereby due to negligent act and/or on failing to take reasonable care, the aggrieved party is
entitled to compensation. If a sportsperson can show that another participant intentionally
inflicted injury such conduct may amount to criminal offence. The injured party might also be
able to seek compensation for injury and consequential losses for assault in civil law. Where
injury is not intentional, the injured party has to show that the other participant was negligent.
Negligence has been described as a conduct that falls below the standard regarded as normal or
desirable. The test whether the aggrieved party has acted unreasonably in the particular
circumstance. The doctrine of negligence as envisaged by the courts across the world and by the
Supreme Court of India is applicable to all sports played in India. Though the instances of
reckless acts of negligence by a sportsperson beyond the rules of the games to injure other
participant are widely prevalent in India especially in local games of football and hockey, the
concept of providing pecuniary damages for such conduct up to now has no precedent in
