‘A’ threw a lighted squib into a crowd, it fell upon ‘X’. ‘X’ in order to prevent injury to himself threw it further, it fell upon ‘Y’ and ‘Y’ in turn did the same thing and it then fell on ‘B’, as a result of which ‘B’ lost one of his eyes. Who is liable to ‘B’ – ‘A’, ‘X’ or ‘Y’ ?
A No one is liable on the principle of remoteness of damages
B ‘A’ is liable because his act is most proximate cause of damage even though his act was farthest.
C ‘X’ is liable because he threw the squib without any danger to him
