Option 1 : 1 and 2 only

The Correct Answer is Option 1 i.e. 1 and 2 only.

Following reforms were introduced by Lord William Bentinck:

  • The first reform done was to abolish the Provincial Courts of Appeal and Circuit Courts altogether.
  • This was done by a regulation passed in 1829.
  • In place of the Provincial courts of appeal and Circuit, the Commissioners of Revenue and Circuit were appointed to do this job.
  • For this purpose, the Bengal Presidency was divided into 20 divisions and each division was placed under a separate commissioner.
  • For revenue cases these commissioners worked directly under the Board of Revenue and for Criminal cases, they worked under Sadar Nizamat Adalat.
  • Separate Diwani and Sadar Nizamat Adalat were opened at Allahabad. Hence Statement 2 is Correct.
  • In 1831, another regulation was passed by which the “Respectable Indians” were to be appointed in the Zilla or City Courts.
  • They were called "Munsifs".
  • Munsifs were to be appointed on a salary and they could decide the cases worth less than Three Hundred Rupees.
  • Then, in a separate regulation, it was decided the Governor General in Council would appoint respectable Indians to the post of Sadar Amins.
  • The Sadar Amins would hear appeals from the Zilla and city courts.
  • Sadar Amin was now the highest Judicial Indian authority. Hence Statment 1 is Correct.
  • However, neither Munsifs nor Sadar Amins could trial the Europeans.
  • In 1832, a sort of Jury was introduced in Bengal, which was like Indian Jury (Panchayat) that could help the European Judges.
  • He made the Persian and a Vernacular language for the court proceeding in lower court and made English language as official language for Supreme Court proceeding. Hence,Statement 3 is NOT Correct.

Statement:  The central government has told the Supreme Court that anti-adultery laws were required to protect the ‘sanctity of marriage and the institution of family', and any attempt to do away with these laws would hurt ‘Indian ethos'. The government was responding to a court notice on a public interest litigation which wanted the law struck down as it was not gender neutral and the provisions were tilted against men. Which among the following arguments support the above statement regarding the ‘revision of such laws' in the best possible manner Arguments: I. It seemed to suggest that women were chattel owned by men and could be guided and misguided. II. This would erode the sanctity of marriage as an institution and the societal fabric. The issue of making the provision gender neutral was already pending before the government. III. Any step towards decriminalising the offence in the interim would be detrimental to Indian ethos which gives paramount importance to the institution and sanctity of marriage.?

In making decisions about important questions, it is desirable to be able to distinguish between strong and weak arguments. Strong arguments are those, which are both important and directly related to the question. Weak arguments are those, which are of minor importance and also may not be directly related to the question or may be related to a trivial aspect of the question. The questions below are followed by two arguments each numbered I and II. You have to decide which of the two arguments is the strong argument and which is the weak argument. Statement: Since English is one of the official languages of India, should all schools be made English medium Arguments: Yes. It would teach people the global language. It is important that people learn the language that has become a status symbol in this country. No. More than half the population does not speak English and it would only make learning in schools more difficult for students.?
