Abstract
The doctrine of strict liability marks a significant departure from the traditional requirement of mens rea (guilty mind) in criminal law. This research paper critically analyzes the application and evolution of strict liability within Indian criminal jurisprudence, drawing comparisons with common law systems such as the United Kingdom and the United States. It examines the justifications, limitations, and challenges associated with its use in India, especially in regulatory offences, environmental law, and corporate liability. The study highlights the tension between individual rights and public welfare in the imposition of criminal sanctions without proof of fault, ultimately calling for a balanced and principled approach to strict liability.
