I. Assertion
Generally, a master is not criminally liable merely because his servant has committed a negligent act.
II. Reason
In the ordinary course of employment, a master may be criminally liable for the negligent acts of the servant.
In general, a master is not held criminally liable for the negligent acts committed by their servant. This is because the servant is considered an independent agent responsible for their own actions. The master may be held civilly liable for the servant's negligence, but not criminally liable.
However, there are certain circumstances where a master can be held criminally liable for the negligent acts of their servant. This occurs in the ordinary course of employment when the servant is acting within the scope of their employment and their negligent act is directly connected to their duties or responsibilities. In such cases, the master may be held criminally liable as they have a duty to properly supervise and control their employees.
Therefore, while the assertion in I is generally true, the reason in II provides the genuine explanation for when a master may be criminally liable for the negligent acts of their servant.
