ABSTRACT
This paper is about the tortious and contractual liability of the government. What was the liability before the commencement of the constitution and the constitution provisions as of now for the liability of the state will be discussed here. Common people may not know whether the government can be sued. The answer is yes; even the government can be sued, and the government can also sue. Many think that the government is the highest authority, so we can’t make a fuss with them. No, it’s not everyone equal before the law, and it applies to the government as well. In what situations is the government held liable, and are there some situations where the government is not liable? In particular, this paper speaks about the liability of the government in cases of tortious liability and contractual liability. In general, contractual liability means liability arising out of a contract, like if there is any breach or violation of the contract, and tortious liability arises, like any injury or damage to any person or property, and compensation will be given.
