The statement "tort cases fall only under the jurisdiction of the state criminal courts" is false.
Answer: Option 2
Explanation:
The jurisdiction of tort cases has been extended to both the criminal and the civil courts. Torture is looked at as a breach of individual freedom. This makes it the subject matter of criminal and civil justice.
Depending on the nature of torture, these cases are directed to either court. If the torture involves physical injury and mental harassment, the case is heard by a criminal court. If the torture is broadly caused through non-cooperative behaviour, the case is directed to a civil court.
