The 2023 to 2025 papers are the highest priority. Torts passages describe an industrial accident or a neighbor dispute, then ask which tort applies and which defense succeeds.

How to Use CLAT PG Law of Torts Sample Papers to Clear in First Attempt

- After each paper: for every wrong answer, find the case law or rule behind the correct answer before moving on.

How to Build a Case Law Index for CLAT PG Law of Torts - The Skill Most Students Ignore
CLAT PG passages give you facts, not a case name. A case law index built around fact patterns trains you to identify the applicable principle - exactly what the format tests.
- For each case, write one sentence: the facts, the rule applied, and which defense was accepted or rejected.
- Group cases by principle - all Negligence cases together, all Strict Liability cases together.
- Include Indian cases alongside English ones. M.C. Mehta and Oleum Gas Leak appear as often as Rylands v Fletcher in CLAT PG.
- Mark your must-know five: Donoghue v Stevenson, Rylands v Fletcher, Wagon Mound I, M.C. Mehta v Union of India, Caparo Industries v Dickman.
