Principle: A person who voluntarily takes a decision to do something after appreciating the risk involved in such act and then receives an injury, will not be entitled to get any compensation.
Facts: 'X', an electrical engineer, was invited by his friend 'Y', to the factory where he was employed. While they were in the factory, 'Q' a worker in the factory informed 'Y' about some short-circuit in the power room. Hearing this, 'Y' asked 'X' to stay in the office room and rushed to the power room. 'X' however, decided to follow 'Y'. 'X' noticed that if the power supply through a particular electric line could be disconnected, the electrical leakage could be stopped which would prevent further damage. Suddenly 'X' decided to pullout the wire manually even though it was risky. This resulted in a blast in which both 'X' and 'Y' got injured. 'X' had to spend Rs. 1 lakh at the hospital for his treatment. 'X' wants to file a suit for compensation from the management of the factory. Will he succeed?
