Question/ Answer
Question1:- What is the legal effect of the rejection of a plaint under Order VII, Rule 11?
  • (a) The plaintiff is barred from filing a fresh suit on the same cause of action.
  • (b) The plaintiff can file a fresh suit on the same cause of action.
  • (c) The plaintiff can only file an appeal against the order of rejection.
  • (d) The suit is deemed to have been withdrawn by the plaintiff.
Answer is b is correct. Order VII, Rule 13 of the CPC clarifies the legal effect of a rejected plaint. It explicitly states that the rejection of a plaint on any of the grounds mentioned in Rule 11 does not, of its own force, preclude the plaintiff from presenting a fresh plaint in respect of the same cause of action. This is a key distinction from a suit that is dismissed on its merits. Therefore, option (b) is correct answer.
Question2:- The power to amend pleadings at any stage of the proceedings is given to the court under:
  • (a) Order VI, Rule 16
  • (b) Order VI, Rule 17
  • (c) Order VII, Rule 11
  • (d) Order VII, Rule 1
Answer is b is correct. Order VI, Rule 17 of the CPC deals with the power of the court to allow amendments to pleadings. This rule empowers the court to permit either party to alter or amend their pleadings at any stage of the proceedings if it is necessary to determine the real questions in controversy between the parties. The other options deal with different aspects of pleadings, such as striking out pleadings (Rule 16) or the particulars to be contained in a plaint (Order VII, Rule 1).Therefore, option (b) is correct answer.
Question3:- A valid defense to the tort of trespass to land is:
  • (a) The defendant had no intention to cause harm.
  • (b) The defendant was unaware the land was private property.
  • (c) The defendant entered the land with the plaintiff's consent.
  • (d) The defendant's entry was a necessity.
Answer is c is correct. Trespass to land is an intentional tort, but it is not necessary to prove an intention to cause harm. The mere voluntary act of entering the land is sufficient. However, if the plaintiff gives consent (also known as a license), it negates the trespass. The defence of necessity is also a valid defence, but consent is the most common and direct defence. Therefore, option (c) is correct answer.
Question4:- An idol of Lord Krishna in a temple is:
  • (a) A natural person
  • (b) A legal person
  • (c) Not a legal person in the eyes of law because only the priest of the temple may be a person.
  • (d) Not a person because no personality can be conferred.
Answer is b is correct. Idol of Lord Krishna in Temple is a legal person. In legal sense, it is not simply a statue. It was considered to contain a legal personality within itself. Therefore, option (b) is correct answer.
Question5:- The BNS has introduced community service as a punishment for certain offenses. Which of the following is an offense where community service can be awarded as a penalty?
  • (a) Attempt to commit suicide.
  • (b) Theft of property of value less than five thousand rupees.
  • (c) Public nuisance.
  • (d) Causing simple hurt.
Answer is b is correct. The BNS introduces community service as a new form of punishment for a limited number of minor offenses. One of the key examples is petty theft. For a first-time offense of theft where the value of the property stolen is less than five thousand rupees, the punishment can be community service. This is a significant move towards alternative sentencing. Therefore, option (b) is correct answer.
