Vicarious responsibility peains to -
Vicarious liability or respondeat superior is the doctrine that an employer is responsible not only for his own negligence but also of his employees. The conditions to be satisfied are there must be an employer-employee relationship, the employees' conduct must occur within the scope of employment and should occur while on the job. Liability will be fixed upon those actually at fault and those whose control over negligent is proved. REF: Dr.K.S.Narayana Reddys Synopsis of Forensic Medicine & Toxicology 29th edition Pg.26.
