The October 2009 blaze in the Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) depot spanning over ten days in the outskirt of Jaipur (Rajasthan) in which 12 persons lost their lives and several got injured, which caused massive damages to the environment in the surroundings including harm to human health and properties, has once again brought on the fore the need for enacting a law of tort to deal with negligence or human failure by the state, organisations and individual professionals for their negligence in performing their legitimate duties in pursuance of Article 300 of the Constitution of India.
