Legal Reasoning Legal Knowledge L.R. L.K. Criminal Law , 169, 170, 8 3 Easy to Moderate Torts 154, 157, 168, 173, 188 7 1 Easy Constitution 151, 158, 186 Difficult Family Law 159, 160 2 International Law 166, 167 Contracts 156, 165 Moderate General Principles of Law 152, 153, 155, 161, 171, 172, 177 187, , 10

16 Question analysis Questions 162 to 164: These set of questions are based on the principle of Adultery followed by a set of facts. The principle given is simple and has three questions basedon it. It’s a MUST ATTEMPT question giving a very good scope of scoring. Questions 166 and 167 are based on International Law and on the concept of Extradition. It is a long question to read with one principle, two explanations and a set of facts. But the questions that follow derive their reasoning directly from the given principles. W.r.t. question 166, the answer could be narrowed down as (a) on the basis of Explanation 1. The only requirement is that of a treaty, irrespective of whether their was an extradition on the date of commission of offence. W.r.t question 167, the answer could be reached as (a) directly by Principle 2 that jurisdiction is decided on the basis of registration of the vessel which in this case was India.

17 Question analysis Most of the questions otherwise are easy and understandable. But there are two set of questions which require time to read as well as understanding. First, Question 174 – 176 : There are 5 principles given for these questions followed by a really long set of facts. It is a very time consuming read and is followed by only three questions. But on the contrary, the questions that follow are very simple and can be reasoned directly from the principle. Ques 174 can be reasoned from Principle 1, and the catch word is Conjointly.. Here, although the driver, Ravi, aided Arif and others to reach the place, but he was not part of the plan. Hence, (c) is the correct option. Ques 175 can be reasoned straightway from Principle 1 again, as there were less than 5 members who were offenders, therefore, (b) is the correct option. Ques 176 can be derived from Principle 2 and hence, option (a) is the correct answer.

18 Question analysis Question : This set of questions is based on the Principles of Assault and Battery. It is a very easy set of question and a must attempt one. Question : This last set of legal reasoning question is based on the election of Member of Parliament from Lok Sabha. It is a very lengthy question and definitely requires a second round of reading. Consisting of 5 principles and one explanation undoubtedly makes is a confusing one. It should definitely be attempted at the end of the paper if time allows.
