Abstract:
The Bangladeshi Ministry of Road Transport, Bridges, and Highway's possible tort culpability. Public authorities are subject to legal examination for civil wrongs that have the potential to cause pain or loss to persons, which is known as tortious liability. This abstract examines the general principles surrounding the concept, without going into detail about specific recent cases. It focuses on the Ministry's potential liability in cases involving negligence, breach of duty, and harm resulting from issues related to road maintenance, infrastructure design, and traffic management. This abstract provides a starting point for additional research on particular court cases and events concerning the Ministry of Road Transport, Bridges, and Highway in Bangladesh. The tortious liability of the Ministry is analyzed from multiple angles, such as carelessness, duty breach, and the general duty of care due to the public. Crucial elements of this investigation include cases addressing problems with traffic control, infrastructure design, and road maintenance. This abstract explains the difficulties that arise when bringing legal action against public authorities by referencing general concepts and previous legal decisions. It explores topics like governmental immunity statutes, intricate legal processes, and sovereign immunity. The story is further shaped by the laws' flexibility to adjust to changing social norms, the need to use up all available administrative remedies, and the delicate balance that must be struck between the public interest and individual rights. Furthermore, the abstract muses over the potential consequences for future litigation, taking into account how policy changes, societal changes, and legal precedents might affect the legal environment in which the Ministry operates. Through the integration of ethical issues, technological advancements, and worldwide legal trends, this analysis offers a comprehensive grasp of the challenges associated with handling public authorities' tortious liability.
