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:- A threatens to kill B but doesn’t act. Is he guilty of attempt to murder?
  • (a) Yes
  • (b) No
  • (c) Yes, because he had a loaded gun
  • (d) Guilty of criminal intimidation
Answer is b is correct. Since no penultimate act towards killing was committed, A is not guilty of attempt to murder. 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:- Z is sitting in a moored boat. A unfastens the moorings, making it drift, intending to cause annoyance. A commits ___________. (Illustration, Section 129 BNS)
  • (a) Wrongful restraint
  • (b) Mischief
  • (c) Criminal force
  • (d) Assault
Answer is c is correct. Section 129 defines criminal force as intentionally causing motion/change of motion to another, creating injury, fear, or annoyance. Therefore, option (c) is correct.
