Legal Principles and Doctrines

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.

This is the correct option. According to above stated facts, this evidence is relevant and admissible as provided by the Supreme Court in the case of Magraj Patodia vs. R. K. Birla.

This is the correct answer. According to Holroyd J, it is better that ten guilty men should escape rather than the conviction of one innocent person. So, standard of proof must be beyond reasonable doubt.

Exception 2 of Section 300 states that culpable homicide is not murder if the offender, in the exercise of good faith of the right of private defence of a person, exceeds the power.

Slap on the eye is not a kind of grievous hurt, neither in criminal nor in general.

Mandamus is a judicial writ issued by a superior court commanding a lower court, tribunal, public official, or corporation to perform a specific duty that they are legally obligated to complete but have failed or refused to do. It literally means 'we command' in Latin. Option B refers to habeas corpus. Option C describes a manifesto. Option D refers to Mendelian genetics and hybridization, which is unrelated to legal terminology.

Where a request has been rejected under sub-section (1), the Central Public Information Officer or State Public Information Officer, as the case may be, shall communicate to the person making the request —

(i)   the reasons for such rejection; (ii)  the period within which an appeal against such rejection may be preferred; and (iii) the particulars of the appellate authority.

One's complaint will not be considered if:

• One has not approached his bank for redressal of his grievance first.
• The subject matter of the complaint is pending for disposal / has already been dealt with at any other forum like court of law, consumer court etc.
• Frivolous or vexatious
• The institution complained against is not covered under the scheme.
• The subject matter of the complaint is not within the ambit of the Banking Ombudsman.
• If the complaint is for the same subject matter that was settled through the office of the Banking Ombudsman in any previous proceedings.

It is to provide for setting out the practical regime of right to information for citizens to secure access to information under the control of public authorities, in order to promote transparency and accountability in the working of every public authority, the constitution of a Central Information Commission and State Information Commissions and for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto. There is no prescribed form of application for seeking information as the application can be made on plain paper. The information seeker is not required to give reasons for seeking information. 

Statement 2 is incorrect. A magistrate under sec 156(3) of Code of Criminal Procedure,1973, may order further investigation in a cognizable offence to the police. 

Non-cognizable offences are serious in nature so no police officer can investigate a non-cognizable case without the order of Magistrate having the power to try such case or commit the case for trial as provided under section 155(2) of Code of criminal procedure,1973.

The immunity enjoyed by the President in respect of his/her personal acts, during his/her tenure is an exception to the fundamental right to equality (of treatment in similar circumstances and absence of any special privilege in favour of any individual) as mentioned in Article 14 of the Indian Constitution. The President of India is immune from any criminal proceedings against him/her. But after giving 2 month notice, civil proceedings can be instituted against him/her. 

The purpose of Writ of Mandamus is direction to the official for the performance of a duty. Prohibition is prohibition of an action, Certiorari is transferring of a case from lower court to a court of higher jurisdiction and Quo Worranto is trial of the right to title of elective office. A writ of mandamus is the name of one of the prerogative writs in the common law, and is issued by a superior court to compel a lower court or a government officer to perform mandatory or purely ministerial duties correctly. A writ of prohibition is a writ directing a subordinate to stop doing something the law prohibits. Certiorari is a type of writ seeking judicial review, recognized in U.S, Roman, English, Philippine, and other laws, meaning an order by a higher court directing a lower court, tribunal, or public authority to send the record in a given case for review. Quo warranto is a prerogative writ requiring the person to whom it is directed to show what authority they have for exercising some right or power they claim to hold.

This is the correct answer as the affidavit or the Legal Declaration does not require any details about the candidates' experience as a political leader.
