Supreme Court: Corporations Can Now Be Crime Victims

Supreme Court: Corporations Can Now Be Crime Victims

Imagine a company, like Asian Paints, whose products are copied and sold illegally.

The Supreme Court has now said these companies can be considered victims of crime, just like people.

This means they can fight back in court if someone hurts their business, like selling fake products.

Previously, only the government handled these cases, but now companies can also appeal and seek justice.

However, some worry that big companies might use this to avoid taking responsibility for their own actions.
