Question/ Answer
Question1:- Balaji Raghwan v. UOI AIR 1996 SC 770 is related with which of the following Article of the Constitution of India?
  • a) 25
  • b) 29
  • c) 18
  • d) 12
Answer is C is correct. Article 18 of the Constitution of India forbids the state from bestowing any titles, except military or academic distinctions and limits citizens of India from accepting titles from foreign states. Article 18 of the Indian Constitution reflects the commitment of India to the principle of equality and aims to prevent the perpetuation of social structure based on titles. The prohibition is part of the broader objective of ensuring that all citizens are treated equally and that no individual enjoys any special benefit or status only by virtue of holding a title. Therefore, option (c) is the correct answer.

  • b) NALSA v. UOI
  • c) A.K. Kraipak v. UOI
  • d) A.K. Gopalan v. State of Madras
Answer is B is correct. The NALSA case judgement led to the recognition of transgender people as the ‘third gender’ by the Supreme Court of India, affirming that the fundamental rights granted under the Constitution of India will be equally applicable to them, and gave them the right to self-identification of their gender as male, female or third gender. Therefore, option (b) is the correct answer.
Question 3:- The doctrine of res ipsa loquitur was applied by the Supreme Court in:
  • a) Jasbir Kaur v. State of Punjab
  • b) Alka v. UOI
  • c) Asia Ram v. Municipal Corporation of Delhi
  • d) Municipal Corporation of Delhi v. Subhagwanti
Answer is D is correct. Res Ipsa Loquitor is a legal term which means ‘the thing speaks for itself.’ It is a very popular doctrine in the law of torts; it is circumstantial or indirect evidence which infers negligence from the very nature of the accident that has taken place and there is the absence of direct evidence against the defendant. Res Ipsa Loquitor is applied when it can be said that without the defendant being negligent, the accident would not have happened. Therefore, option (d) is the correct answer.
Question4:- Which of the following cases is related to ‘doctrine of frustration’?
  • Felt house v. Bindly
  • b) Hardley v. Bdcandale
  • c) Krell v. Henry
  • d) Mohri Bibi v. Dharmadas Ghose
Answer is C is correct. In the Indian Contract Act, 1872 (ICA), the doctrine of frustration is covered under Section 56. This section deals with the doctrine of frustration, which essentially states that a contract becomes void when something occurs after the formation of the contract which renders it impossible to fulfil the contract, or which makes the performance of the contract illegal, or which transforms the contract into something radically different from what was originally contemplated by the parties. Therefore, option (c) is the correct answer.
Question5:- Hadley v. Baxendale is a leading case on:
  • a) Anticipatory breach
  • b) Remoteness of damages
  • c) Breach of implied terms
  • d) All of these
Answer is B is correct. The term remoteness of damages refers to the legal test used to determine which type of loss caused by contract breach can be compensated by awarding damages. It has been distinguished from the term measure of damages or quantification which refers to the method of assessing the money the compensation for a particular consequence or loss which has been held to be not too remote. Therefore, option (b) is the correct answer.

  • a) Harris v. Harris
  • b) Noakes v. Rice

The doctrine of a clog on redemption is based on the principle of justice, equity, and good conscience. Therefore, option (b) is the correct answer.
