In the German settlers in Poland case The Permanent Court of International Justice, stated that, 'States can only act by and through their agents and representatives.

We endorse the above authorities because they are apt to the facts of this case. In the instant case the two policemen were the servants of the defendants at the time the acts were committed and the rights of the Applicants were violated by their action. Another dimension is whether even in a criminal act by state officials the State would be liable in damages. We hold that the State will be responsible even if it did not specifically order the conduct concerning its servants and even if its servants acted in ways clearly beyond what they were ordered to do.
