Question/ Answer
Question1:- Which constitutional provision is famously described by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar as the "very soul of the Constitution and the very heart of it"?
  • A. Article 14
  • B. Article 19
  • C. Article 32
  • D. Article 226
Answer is c is correct. Explanation: Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, the chief architect of the Indian Constitution, attached immense importance to Article 32, calling it the "very soul of the Constitution and the very heart of it," because without the right to constitutional remedies, the Fundamental Rights would be meaningless or reduced to mere declarations.
Question2:- Which condition must be met for a promise to pay a time-barred debt to be a valid agreement under Section 25(3) of the Indian Contract Act?

  • B. The debt must be payable by the promisor, but it need not be one of which the creditor might have enforced payment but for the law of limitation.
  • C. The promise must be made only to the original creditor, not his legal representative.
  • D. The promise to pay the time-barred debt must be supported by fresh, current consideration.

The provision explicitly deals with debts that a creditor could have enforced "but for the law for the limitation of suits," and it is an exception to the rule of consideration, so no fresh consideration is required.
