Which of the following Writ can be issued against purely Administrative bodies?
-
Prohibition
-
Mandamus
-
Certiorari
-
Both [a] and [c]
Correct Answer
A. CertiorariExplanation
Certiorari is the correct answer because it is a writ that can be issued against purely administrative bodies. This writ is used to review the decisions and actions of administrative bodies to ensure they are within their legal authority and have not acted arbitrarily or unlawfully. It allows the higher court to examine the record of the lower administrative body and determine if any errors were made. Prohibition and Mandamus, on the other hand, are writs that are typically used to control the actions of judicial and quasi-judicial bodies, rather than purely administrative bodies.Rate this question:

Where a person pledges goods in which he has only a limited interest, the pledge is ?
-

-

Correct Answer
A. Valid to the extent of that interestExplanation

This means that the person can pledge and use the goods as collateral for a loan or debt, but only up to the amount or value of their limited interest in the goods. The pledge does not extend beyond that specific interest, so any additional claims or rights to the goods by others may not be affected by the pledge.Rate this question:

-
The Hindu Succession Act shall prevail as the first will was made in 1957
-
Hindu Succession Act shall prevail as the last will was created in 2005
-
The Hindu Succession Act shall prevail as 3 wills cannot be created.
-
The Will shall prevail over the Hindu Succession Act.
Correct Answer
A. The Will shall prevail over the Hindu Succession Act.Explanation
The correct answer is "The Will shall prevail over the Hindu Succession Act." This is because a will is a legal document that expresses a person's final wishes regarding the distribution of their property after death. As long as the will was validly executed and not revoked, it takes precedence over the general laws of succession. In this case, although there were multiple wills and revocations, the last will created in 2005 would be considered the most recent expression of the individual's wishes and would therefore prevail over the Hindu Succession Act.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. A law declaring illegal a transaction between two foreigners concluded to be performed in their respective countriesExplanation
A law declaring illegal a transaction between two foreigners concluded to be performed in their respective countries is illegal under International Law because it violates the principle of sovereignty. International Law recognizes the principle of territoriality, which means that each country has jurisdiction over acts committed within its own territory. Therefore, a country cannot declare illegal a transaction between two foreigners that is intended to be carried out in their own respective countries, as it goes against the principle of territorial sovereignty.Rate this question:
