Fill in the gap : A disability for _________ days constitutes grievous hurt.

A.A week
B.A fortnight
C.A month
D.A minimum of twenty days

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: D

A disability for twenty days constitutes grievous hurt, so the key gives option D, a minimum of twenty days. Under Section 320 of the Indian Penal Code, the eighth kind of grievous hurt is any hurt which causes the sufferer to be during the space of twenty days in severe bodily pain, or unable to follow his ordinary pursuits. The shorter periods of a week, a fortnight or a month in options A, B and C do not match the Code's period.

Fill in the gap with appropriate word : Wrongful restraint means keeping a person from out of his _________ of his residence.

A.House
B.Place
C.Hotel
D.Guest House

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: B

The key gives option B, place. The question asks to fill the gap in the description of wrongful restraint, which in the Indian Penal Code is voluntarily obstructing a person so as to prevent him from proceeding in any direction in which he has a right to proceed. The printed question is awkwardly worded, and the key accepts 'place' over house, hotel and guest house, which are particular kinds of place and are too narrow for the idea. The answer rests on the key.
