B.Friedman
C.Salmond
D.Hobbes

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: C

The key attributes the statement that law is a remedy for a greater evil but brings evils of its own to Salmond, which is option C.

Blackstone, Friedman and Hobbes are also writers on law, but the key does not give the remark to any of them. The answer is taken from the key.

Assertion (A) : The Maneka Gandhi's case is a landmark decision from the point of human rights and remedial jurisprudence.

Codes :

A.Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
B.Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
C.(A) is true, but (R) is false.
D.(A) is false, but (R) is true.

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: B

Both statements are true, but the Reason is not the explanation of the Assertion.

The decision in Maneka Gandhi's case read fairness and reasonableness into Article 21 and so is a landmark for human rights. The statement that equality is the opposite of arbitrariness is also true of the Royappa line of thought.

That statement is true by itself but it is not what explains why Maneka Gandhi's case is a landmark, so the second code is correct.
