SECTION 2: LEGAL REASONING


Questions 21-24 follow from the passage given below. Choose the option that is most in accordance with the given principles. PRINCIPLE 1: Nothing is an offence which is done in the exercise of the right of private defence. However, this right extends only to the point at which the threat persists and the action taken must be in proportion to the threat faced. PRINCIPLE 2: There is no right of private defence against an act which does not reasonably cause the apprehension of death or of grievous hurt, if done, or attempted to be done, by a public servant acting in good faith under colour of his office, though that act, may not be strictly justifiable by law. PRINCIPLE 3: The aggressor does not have the right to claim Private defence. FACTS: On a rather unfortunate day, the area around the Tutorials for the Schools of Law (TSL) centre at Bangalore saw several nasty incidents of violence. Being the average idle school student, you decide to poke your nose around for want of something better to do. You find that a peaceful protest was taking place against the corrupt minister, Reddiuyappa, at the main road. Police forces arrived with lathis (staffs) to dispel the crowd, though the use of force was minimal. Hoodaji, seeing Inspector Gadde rushing towards him with his lathi was unusually frightened; and in his nervousness hit the officer hard to save himself. Elsewhere; Dada, a known criminal, attempted to sexually assault a certain Ms. Antara at gunpoint. In the midst of the activity, however, he dropped his gun. The lady caught hold of it and pointed it at Dada, threatening to shoot if he didnt move away. Dada, realising that he was the one in danger now attempted to flee. However, the thoroughly shaken Antara shot at him nonetheless, injuring him in the arm. Meanwhile, Jhatka and Chintoo, lovers and residents of a nearby locality, decided to elope. They hoped to catch the midnight Rajdhani Express to New Delhi, where they would build a new life for themselves. Jhatkas parents, sadly for them, caught a whiff of their plans. Jhatkas father reached the Bangalore City railway station and attempted to stop them. He tried to hit Chintoo in a fit of rage for taking away his daughter; however Chintoo punched him first in self-defence, stopping him. You find nothing else of interest for a while. Disappointed, you begin the long walk home, when you suddenly find a crowd huddled next to the nearest police headquarters. After a little enquiry, you hear what turns out to be your favourite story of the day. A certain Johns took what he believed to be a shortcut to his home. Unfortunately for him, he found himself in defence land. An armed guard began to fire at him with a pistol, seemingly without warning. Johns, unable to run, threw a nearby lying brick at the guard in his desperation. The brick struck the guard on the head, killing him instantly. 21. On the charges of criminal battery brought against Hoodaji, can he claim protection under private defence?

CLATGyan | Batch of 2015 & 2016 NALSAR University of Law

Page 5

A. Yes, because even though Inspector Gadde was a public servant who was discharging his duty, Hoodaji believed he was under threat of grievous injury B. No, because Inspector Gadde was a public servant and Hoodaji did not have a reasonable fear of grievous injury C. Yes, because he was trying to defend himself against what he perceived to be a threat D. No, because he was not trying to defend himself 22. On the charges of criminal assault and battery brought against Antara, can she claim protection under private defence? A. She cannot claim the right for either as the steps used by her were not proportional to the threat she was under B. She can claim the right to private defence in both as they took place in the heat of the moment and she could not have controlled her impulses C. She can claim the right to private defence for assault but not battery as there was no grave and immediate threat to her when she shot Dada D. She can claim the right for both as people like Dada deserve nothing better 23. On the charges of criminal battery brought against Chintoo, can he claim the right to private defence? A. Yes he can, as Jhatkas father acted unthinkingly B. No he cannot, as he is clearly in the wrong for trying to elope with Jhatka against the will of her parents. C. No he cannot, as the aggressor does not have the Right of private defence. D. Yes he can, as he had the reasonable apprehension of injury and he was not the aggressor of the ensuing violence. 24. On the charges of culpable homicide brought against Johns, can he claim the right to private defence? A. Yes, because he felt reasonable apprehension of danger to his life B. No, because his actions were disproportionate to the threat he faced C. No, because he acted against a public servant performing what he believed was his lawful duty, against whom no right to private defence exists D. No, because he was clearly the aggressor in this case Answer questions 25 and 26 in accordance to the principle given: 25. PRINCIPLE: The tort of defamation arises when one causes injury to anothers reputation in the eyes of a third party without lawful justification. FACTS: T.S. Seth, a successful lawyer, proposes marriage to his long standing girlfriend, Prarthana. Overwhelmed, Prarthana request him for some time to think about his proposal. Later in the night, Prarthana asks a colleague of Seth, Praveen for advice on the matter. Praveen, secretly jealous of Seths success, sends the following messsage: I dont know think Seth will make too good a husband. He is hardly serious in life. He barely values money. He doesnt care too much about his job either; he randomly takes holidays, and one finally finds him in some bizarre corner of the world. His life revolves around parties and alcohol. Hes not marriage material, if you ask me.

CLATGyan | Batch of 2015 & 2016 NALSAR University of Law

Page 6

Prarthana believes, however, that such a carefree attitude is exactly what she was looking for in a husband. The very next day, she agrees to marry Seth. Seth later finds the message, and sues Praveen for defamation. Is Praveen liable for defaming Seth? A. Yes, because he published false statements about Seth to a third party B. No, because there was no injury to Seths reputation C. Yes, because Praveen clearly had a mala fide intention in sending such a message, and it was only because of sheer luck that the message did Seth no damage. D. No, because Praveen was asked a simple question and he should be allowed to answer it in whichever way he pleases. 26. Principle: The constitution guarantees its citizens the rights to freedom of speech and expression, though the state can impose reasonable restrictions on the same. Facts: Rohan, an atheist, refuses to sing the mandatory prayer in the government school he studies in; believing it to be against his religious principles. He does this despite multiple warnings from the school administration, though he does not disturb anyone else during the same. The principal, angered by Rohans behaviour, expels him from the school one day. Does this act violate his fundamental rights? A. Yes, because the freedom to expression entails the freedom to remain silent. B. Yes, because his right to education is denied. C. No, because the school can impose reasonable restrictions on his right to expression. D. No, because he is bringing harm to himself and to others by disrespecting God in that manner.

The following principle applies for questions 27 - 29 PRINCIPLE: The constitution confers on every citizen the freedom to practice any profession or to carry on any occupation, trade or business. However the right is subject to reasonable restrictions in the interest of the general public. 27. FACTS: The government of the Republic of Ajeyland banned the consumption of nonvegetarian food in the entire country. The Ensuring Eating Rights to You (EERY) group, on behalf of all butchers and those involved in animal husbandry, challenged the constitutional validity of the law; claiming that the freedom to practice any profession of these groups has been violated. On the basis of the given principle, determine the validity of the law. A. B. C. D. Nothing can be said as the constitution of Ajeyland differs from that of India. Vegetarianism would benefit the general public; hence the law is constitutionally valid. This law is constitutionally invalid as everyone has the right to choose what they eat. This law is invalid as the restriction on the profession of the said groups is unreasonable.

28. In which of the following cases is the freedom to practice any profession violated? Answer in accordance to the principle provided. A. The state prohibits explicit show of nudity in the film industry, severely restricting the artistic licences that directors have in making films, and also restricting certain classes of films from being made. B. The state makes it mandatory for all everyone to obtain at least a Bachelor of Education degree before teaching in a school, thus leaving thousands of teachers unemployed. CLATGyan | Batch of 2015 & 2016 NALSAR University of Law Page 7

C. The state sets a minimum wage that is to be given to paid labour, thereby grossly slashing the profits of several industrialists, rendering some bankrupt. D. The state prohibits women from joining the army in any post, thereby restricting their freedom to practice several professions that they may wish to undertake. 29. FACTS: The Republic of Ajeyland revokes its ban on most non-vegetarian food (See facts in question 7), claiming that the act was tyrannical and violative of the basic freedoms of the people. However, the ban persisted on the consumption of endangered animals and the Fugu fish, which if not cut and cooked properly is lethally poisonous. Great hue and cry was raised by EERY, claiming that the ban should be completely revoked as it still restricted the livelihood of several speciality chefs. On the basis of the given principle, determine the validity of the law. A. Nothing can be said as the constitution of Ajeyland differs from that of India. B. This law is constitutionally invalid as everyone has the right to choose what they eat. C. The law is valid because the restrictions placed are reasonable and are clearly in public interest. D. The law is valid because speciality chefs are too small a group to take into consideration.

Answer questions 30 35 in accordance to the principle given. 30. PRINCIPLE: Committing or threatening to commit any act forbidden by the IPC, or the unlawful detaining or threatening to detain any property with intention of causing any person to enter into an agreement amounts to coercion. Coercion can render a contract voidable. FACTS: Baapu Ishwari, a local goon, threatens to inform the police about the illegal gambling racquet run by the famed film producer, Chopra, if he doesnt give his foster son, Hollywood Jha a movie deal. Chopra accordingly signs a contract with Hollywood Jha, promising him three films, for each of which hell be given Rs. 50 lakhs. Unfortunately however, the police come to know of Chopras gambling racket anyway, and he is sent to jail. Once he comes out, he refuses to give any films to Hollywood Jha. Hollywood Jha sues him for breach of contract. Can Chopra claim coercion thus rendering their contact voidable? A. Yes he can, as he was forced into signing the contract by Baapu Ishwari B. No he cannot, as there was nothing unlawful in the threat of Baapu Ishwari under which the contract was signed C. Yes he can, as this would only be a further punishment to Chopra for his wrongs, and that is not permitted by the law D. The facts are insufficient

31. PRINCIPLE: A contract is said to induced by undue influence, where te relations subsisting between the parties are such that one of the part is in a position to dominate the will of the other; and he uses this position to obtain unfair advantage over the other. Contracts formed by undue influence are voidable at the option of the aggrieved party. FACTS: X is an oncologist of whom Y was a patient. Before he died, Y sold his estate of over 10 acres of prime land to X for a mere 50,000 Rs. Ys son, Z challenged the contract as being CLATGyan | Batch of 2015 & 2016 NALSAR University of Law Page 8

obtained by undue influence and claim that he wished to avoid it. Will he legally be able to do so? A. The meagre compensation clearly shows that there is undue influence in the said contract. B. There was no undue influence as Y acted in his own will to sign the contract. C. There was undue influence as doctor-patient relationships are fiduciary and contracts made within such fiduciary relationships are always obtained by undue influence. D. The facts are insufficient to prove undue influence.

32. PRINCIPLE: Fraud consists of a misrepresentation of an existing fact upon which the defendant intends that the plaintiffs will rely, and upon which the plaintiff justifiably relies to his detriment. FACTS: Banno goes to Seth Hiralals store to buy a microwave oven. Seth Hiralal tells her that the oven has a grill feature also, despite knowing that it doesnt. Banno tells the shopkeeper that she doesnt care if the oven has any such features as she needs it for simple heating, but she buys it anyway. A month later, Banno tries her hand at a new recipe which requires grilling, believing to be able to do so in her oven. She then realises that her oven has no such feature. In the suit of fraud brought by Banno against Seth Hiralal, A. She will lose because at the time of buying the microwave, she did not rely on the shopkeepers claims. B. She will lose because she was caused no harm by the shopkeepers claims. C. She will win because the shopkeepers claims proved to be detrimental to her. D. She will lose because she should have known that microwaves do not come with the grilling feature, and hence her reliance on the shopkeepers words was not justified

33. PRINCIPLE: Fraud consists of the intentional misrepresentation of an existing fact upon which the defendant intends that the plaintiffs will rely, and upon which the plaintiff justifiably relies to his detriment. FACTS: Banka Babu, the owner of a jewellery store, believing the shipment he had recently received conveyed to be 24 carat gold, conveyed the same to a customer, Mr. Rishi. Mr. Rishi bought the jewellery relying on Banka Babus word. He later realised that the jewellery was in fact made of bronze, which was plated with gold. On the action for fraud brought against Banka Babu, A. He will lose, as there Banka Babu honestly believed that the jewellery to be made of gold. B. He will win, as the events have been unfair to him and have caused him a great loss. C. He will lose, as it his duty to check what he is buying before he does so. D.

34. PRINCIPLE: Ignorance of the law is no excuse. FACTS: At 12 o clock in the morning of the 1st of November, 2011, a government of India legislature prohibited the sale of cigarettes by anyone. At 1:00 AM on the same day, Mr. Shankar signed a contract with Mr. Pandey, promising to sell him several hundred packs of cigarettes. Mr. Shankar later refused to honour the contract, claiming it to be illegal and hence void. Pandey claimed that there was a bilateral mistake by the parties to the contract and hence the contract was only voidable, and that it was in both their interests to follow out the contract between them. Of the given options, which is the most appropriate? A. The contract will be followed out because a bilateral contract renders a contract only voidable and not void. B. The contract will not be followed out because it is unclear if the contract is in the best interests of the two. C. The contract is void as it would be against the law and ignorance of law cannot be an excuse for the contract to be followed out. D. The contract will be followed out as it is doubtful if the police would actually attempt to crack down on their deal.

35. PRINCIPLE: In order for a nation to be recognised as a state in International Law, it is essential to have a defined territory.

It considered its territories as wherever live those who considered their homeland to be the lands of Shivaji Maharaj and their mother tongue to be Marathi, though they were unable to quantifiably indentify the same. The FAMM immediately entered trade relations with several countries; and many, including the Republic of India recognise the FAMM to be a nation. According to international law, can the FAMM be considered a state? A. Yes, because it has entered into trade relations with several countries, making it a state. B. No, because there can be no state on such narrow ethnic lines C. Yes, because many countries recognise it as a nation; including the Republic of India, which it separated from. D. No, because it does not have a well defined territory.

SECTION 4: ENGLISH
That Eichmann had at all times done his best to make the Final Solution final was therefore not in dispute. The question was only whether this was indeed proof of his fanaticism, his boundless hatred of Jews, and whether he had lied to the police and committed perjury in court when he claimed he had always obeyed orders. No other explanation ever occurred to the judges, who tried so hard to understand the accused, and treated him with a consideration and an authentic, shining humanity such as he had probably never encountered before in his whole life. That they never did come to understand him may be proof of the "goodness" of the three men, of their untroubled and slightly old-fashioned faith in the moral foundations of their profession. For the sad and very uncomfortable truth of the matter probably was that it was not his fanaticism but his very conscience that prompted Eichmann to adopt his uncompromising attitude during the last year of the war, as it had prompted him to move in the opposite direction for a short time three years before. Eichmann had opposed some of Himmlers cautious moves. He knew that Himmler's orders ran directly counter to the Fuehrers order. For this, he needed to know no factual details, though such details would have backed him up: as the prosecution underlined in the proceedings before the Supreme Court, when Hitler heard, through Kaltenbrunner, of negotiations to exchange Jews for trucks, "Himmler's position in Hitler's eyes was completely undermined." And only a few weeks before Himmler stopped the extermination at Auschwitz, Hitler, obviously unaware of Himmler's newest moves, had sent an ultimatum Himmler, telling him he "expected that the measures against Jews in Budapest would now be taken without any further delay by the Hungarian government." When Himmler's order to stop the evacuation of Hungarian Jews arrived in Budapest, Eichmann, then threatened, according to a telegram from Veesenmayer, "to seek a new decision from the Fuehrer," and this telegram the judgment found "more damning than a hundred witnesses could be." Eichmann lost his fight against the "moderate wing,". The first indication of his defeat came in January, 1945, when Obersturmbannfhrer Kurt Becher was promoted to Standartenfhrer, the very rank Eichmann had been dreaming about all during the war. (His story, that no higher rank was open to him in his outfit, was a half-truth; he could have been made chief of Department IV-B, instead of occupying the desk of IV-B-4, and would then have been automatically promoted. The truth probably was that people like Eichmann, who had risen from the ranks, were never permitted to advance beyond a lieutenant colonelcy except at the front.) 111.

Among the many and complex tendencies observable in modern poetry, or what answers for poetry in this age, is a decided but unjust scorn of the honest old pastoral, immortalised by Theocritus and Virgil, and revived in our own literature by Spenser. Nor is this unfavourable attitude confined alone to the formal eclogue whose classical elements are so well described and exemplified by Mr. Pope. Whenever a versifier adorns his song with the pleasing and innocent imagery of this type of composition, or borrows its mild and sweet atmosphere, he is forthwith condemned as an irresponsible fossil by every little-wit critic in his ivory tower. Modern bards, in their endeavour to display with seriousness and minute verisimilitude the inward operations of the human mind and emotions, have come to look down upon the simple description of ideal beauty, or the straightforward presentation of pleasing images for no other purpose than to delight the fancy. Such themes they deem trivial and artificial, and altogether unworthy of an art whose design they take to be the analysis and reproduction of Nature in all her moods and aspects. But in this belief, the writer cannot but hold that our contemporaries are misjudging the true province and functions of poesy. It was no starched classicist, but the exceedingly unconventional Edgar Allan Poe, who roundly denounced the melancholy metaphysicians and maintained that true poetry has for its first object pleasure, not truth, and indefinite pleasure instead of definite pleasure. Mr. Poe, in another essay, defined poetry as the rhythmical creation of beauty, intimating that its concern for the dull or ugly aspects of life is slight indeed. That the American bard and critic was fundamentally just in his deductions, seems well proved by a comparative survey of those poems of all ages which have lived, and those which have fallen into deserved obscurity. The English pastoral, based upon the best models of antiquity, depicts engaging scenes of Arcadian simplicity, which not only transport the imagination through their intrinsic beauty, but recall to the scholarly mind the choicest remembrances of classical Greece and Rome. Though the combination of rural pursuits with polished sentiments and diction is patently artificial, the beauty is not a whit less; nor do the conventional names, phrases, and images detract in the least from the quaint agreeableness of the whole. The magic of this sort of verse is to any unprejudiced mind irresistible, and is capable of evoking a more deliciously placid and refreshing train of pictures in the imagination, than may be obtained from any more realistic species of composition. Every untainted fancy begets ideal visions of which the pastoral forms a legitimate and artistically necessary reflection. CLATGyan | Batch of 2015 & 2016 NALSAR University of Law Page 31

It is not impossible that the intellectual upheaval attendant upon the present conflict will bring about a general simplification and rectification of taste, and an appreciation of the value of pure imaginary beauty in a world so full of actual misery, which may combine to restore the despised pastoral to its proper station. 121.
