If A stole B's jewellery in a situation where there was flood in their area. Can A claim the defence of vis major ?
Yes
No
Yes, if he proves it was his own jewellery
No, he can use the defence of necessity in flood like situations.
Vis Major serves as an important defense in various legal situations, particularly in contract law and liability claims. Theft is a criminal act therefore, A cannot claim the defence of Vis major. Hence, option b is correct.
