A and B are two brothers: A was tried for a Criminal Offence and sentence to 7 years imprisonment. Can B volunteer to undergo imprisonment for A, though he was not figured an the case? In Law of torts the master is liable for his servants, so can we apply the same in criminal case also?

No sir ! there is no cocept of transfer of sentence uncer criminal jurisprudence.

It would be indeed a gift to have a brother like Mr.B, Other than in Rama Rajya no where you will find such a brother. But unfortunatly punishment is for the crime commited and the person /offender has to undergo the punishment. Coming to the second part of the question the master is also liable to be charged U/s.109 along with the servent for criminal activity of the servent in course of employment.
