Question/ Answer
Question1:- "Doctrine of Legitimate Expectation" is related to:
  • (A) The right to be heard
  • (B) The right to public information
  • (C) The right of a person to expect a certain procedural or substantive benefit from a public authority
  • (D) The right to a speedy trial
Answer is c is correct. The doctrine of legitimate expectation is an extension of the principles of natural justice. It arises when a public authority, through its consistent practice or a specific promise, creates a reasonable expectation in the mind of a person that a certain procedure will be followed or a certain benefit will be granted. If the authority seeks to deviate from this expectation, it must provide a fair hearing. Therefore, option (c) is the correct answer.
Question2:- Under Section 48 of the Civil Procedure Code, which of the following provisions is covered?
  • A. Settlement of issues and framing of suits.
  • B. Examination of witnesses.
  • C. Execution of decrees passed by foreign courts.
  • D. Res judicata and its applicability.
Answer is d is correct. Section 11 of CPC deals with res judicata, which bars the re-litigation of issues that have already been decided by a competent court. Therefore, option (d) is the correct answer.
Question3:- The doctrine of 'Nemo Judex in Causa Sua' refers to:
  • A) The principle of fair hearing.
  • B) The principle against bias.
  • C) The principle of reasoned decision.
  • D) The principle of legitimate expectation.
Answer is b is correct. 'Nemo Judex in Causa Sua' is the other fundamental rule of natural justice. It means "no one should be a judge in his own cause." This rule is aimed at preventing bias, whether it be personal, pecuniary (financial), or based on a pre-judgment of the issue. It ensures that the person making a decision is impartial and has no vested interest in the outcome. It is a safeguard for a fair and unbiased decision-making process. Therefore, option (b) is the correct answer.
Question4:- Which of the following is an example of 'pecuniary bias'?
  • A) A judge is a close friend of one of the parties in the case.
  • B) The judge is an ex-employee of a company that is a party in the case.
  • C) The judge holds shares in a company that is a party to the dispute.
  • D) The judge has previously expressed a strong opinion on the issue being litigated.
Answer is c is correct. Pecuniary bias refers to a direct financial interest that a decision-maker has in the outcome of a case. Even if the financial interest is very small, it is enough to automatically disqualify the person from making a decision, as it creates a direct conflict of interest. This is a strict application of the 'Nemo Judex in Causa Sua' rule. Therefore, option (c) is correct.
Question5:- Under the provisions of the Transfer of the Property Act, 1882, the benefits of a contract can be assigned as an actionable claim and transferred unless:
  • A. The contract is one which had been induced by personal qualifications or considerations as to the parties to it
  • B. The benefit is coupled with an obligation which the assignor is bound to discharge
  • C. either A or B
  • D. neither A nor B
Answer is c is correct. Refer Section 130 of Transfer of Property Act, 1882. Therefore, option (c) is correct.
