    Correct Answer
    A. 6 months

    The maximum ‘ignorantia juris non excusat’ means:

    • Ignorance of fact is an excuse.

    • Ignorance of fact is no excuse

    • Ignorance of law is an excuse

    • Ignorance of law is no excuse

    Correct Answer
    A. Ignorance of law is no excuse
    Explanation
    The phrase "ignorantia juris non excusat" is a Latin term that translates to "ignorance of the law is no excuse." This legal principle means that individuals cannot avoid legal consequences or penalties by claiming that they were unaware of the law. In other words, ignorance of the law is not a valid defense in legal proceedings. This principle is based on the idea that it is the responsibility of individuals to familiarize themselves with the laws of their jurisdiction and abide by them.

    Agreement to murder a person

    • Cannot be enforceable by law

    • Is valid in law

    • In invalid for want of consideration

    • Has no consensus ad idem

    Correct Answer
    A. Cannot be enforceable by law
    Explanation
    An agreement to murder a person cannot be enforceable by law because it is a criminal act and goes against the principles of justice and morality. The law exists to protect individuals and promote the well-being of society, and murder is a serious offense that undermines these principles. Therefore, any agreement or contract related to murder would be considered void and unenforceable.

    • True

    • Partly True

    • False

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    This statement is true because it is a legal principle that all illegal agreements are considered void. This means that they have no legal effect and cannot be enforced by either party. However, not all void agreements are necessarily illegal. There are certain circumstances where an agreement may be void, such as when it is entered into under duress or involves a minor. In these cases, the agreement is void but not illegal. Therefore, it can be concluded that all illegal agreements are void, but not all void agreements are illegal.

    • ‘X’ & ‘Y’ both are liable for murder of ‘Z’

    • ‘X’ is not liable as he did not perform any overt act

    • Both (a) & (c)

    Correct Answer
    A. ‘X’ & ‘Y’ both are liable for murder of ‘Z’
    Explanation
    Both 'X' and 'Y' are liable for the murder of 'Z' because even though 'X' did not hit 'Z' with the spear, they were still actively involved in the act of murder by standing on guard with a weapon. Their presence and participation in the crime make them equally responsible for the outcome. Therefore, both 'X' and 'Y' are liable for the murder of 'Z'.

    • 44th

    • 42nd

    Correct Answer
    A. 44th

This amendment was passed in 1978 and aimed to limit the power of the government to acquire private property. It was a significant change as the Right to Property was initially included as a Fundamental Right in the Constitution. The 44th amendment ensured that the right to property would now be considered as a legal right rather than a fundamental right.

    • American Constitution

    • French Constitution

    • Irish Constitution

    Correct Answer
    A. German Constitution
    Explanation
    The emergency provisions of the Constitution of India have been borrowed from the German Constitution. This is because the framers of the Indian Constitution were influenced by the Weimar Constitution of Germany, which had extensive provisions for emergency situations. The German Constitution provided for the declaration of a state of emergency in case of internal disturbances or external aggression, and the suspension of certain fundamental rights during such emergencies. The Indian Constitution also includes similar provisions, such as the declaration of a state of emergency and the suspension of certain fundamental rights in emergency situations.

    • It does not deal with a fact in issue

    • It does not deal with a relevant fact

    The document will become irrelevant if it is not an entry made in a public or other official book, register, or record.

    Section 31, Indian Evidence Act declares:

    • That admissions are not conclusive proof of the matters admitted, but they may operate as estoppels

    • Unless admissions are contractual or unless they constitute estoppels they are not conclusive, but are open rebuttal or explanation.

    • Either (A) or (B)

    • Both (A) and (B)

    Correct Answer
    A. Both (A) and (B)
    Explanation
    The correct answer is both (A) and (B) because Section 31 of the Indian Evidence Act states that admissions are not conclusive proof of the matters admitted. This means that they can be challenged or rebutted. However, admissions can also operate as estoppels, meaning that they can prevent a person from denying a fact that they have previously admitted. Therefore, both options (A) and (B) are correct as they accurately reflect the provisions of Section 31.

    In criminal cases under Section 54, Indian Evidence Act to prove that the defendant committed the crime charged, evidence may not be given that he:

    • Bore a bad reputation in the community

    • Has a disposition to commit crime of that kind

    • Had no other occasions committed particular acts of the same class evincing such disposition

    • All of them

    Correct Answer
    A. All of them
    Explanation
    In criminal cases under Section 54 of the Indian Evidence Act, it is not permissible to present evidence that the defendant bore a bad reputation in the community, has a disposition to commit the crime charged, or had no other occasions committed particular acts of the same class evincing such disposition. Therefore, the correct answer is "all of them" because none of these factors can be used as evidence to prove that the defendant committed the crime charged.

    A contract in which, under the terms of a contract, nothing remains to be done by either party is known as

    • Unilateral contract

    • Executed contract

    • Executory contract

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Executed contract
    Explanation
    An executed contract refers to a contract in which both parties have fulfilled their obligations and nothing remains to be done. In other words, all the terms and conditions of the contract have been completed and both parties have performed their respective duties. This distinguishes it from an executory contract, where one or both parties still have obligations to fulfill. A unilateral contract refers to a contract where only one party is obligated to perform, while the other party has the option to accept or reject the offer. None of the above options accurately describe a contract in which both parties have completed their obligations.

    A person summoned to produce a document-

    • Does not become a witness in the case unless he is called as a witness

    • Automatically becomes a witness in the case

    • Automatically becomes an hostile witness in the case

    • Can be cross examined without being called as a witness

    Correct Answer
    A. Does not become a witness in the case unless he is called as a witness
    Explanation
    When a person is summoned to produce a document, they do not automatically become a witness in the case. They only become a witness if they are specifically called to testify as a witness. Simply producing a document does not make them a witness, as they are not providing oral testimony or giving their personal account of events.

    • Section 131

    • Section 132

    • Section 133

    Acceptance can precede an offer

    • True

    • Partly True

    • False

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Acceptance cannot precede an offer. In a typical contractual agreement, an offer is made by one party and then the other party can accept or reject the offer. Acceptance is the response to an offer, so it logically follows the offer. Therefore, the statement that acceptance can precede an offer is false.

    Under section 79, nothing is an offence which is done by a person who is justified by law or who by reason of mistake of fact in goodfaith believes himself to be:

    • Bound by law to do it

    • Justified by law to do it

    • Bound by morality to do it

    • All the above.

    Correct Answer
    A. Justified by law to do it
    Explanation
    Under section 79, a person is not considered to have committed an offense if they are justified by law or if they genuinely believe, in good faith, that they are bound by law to do it. This means that if someone is acting in accordance with the law or genuinely believes that they are obligated to act in a certain way based on their understanding of the law, they cannot be held accountable for any offense. Therefore, the correct answer is "justified by law to do it".
