Last year saw 35 such attacks in the United States alone, an increase of almost 21% over the previous year's total. Clearly, then, it is unsafe to keep dogs as pets if one has small children in the house.The argument above depends upon which of the following assumptions?(1)No reasonable justification for these attacks by Dobermans on small children has been discovered.(2)Other household pets, such as cats, don't display the same violent tendencies that dogs do.(3)The number of attacks by Doberman on small children will continue to rise in the coming years.(4)The behaviour toward small children exhibited by Dobermans is representative of dogs in general.Q14.An investigation must be launched into the operations of the private group that is training recruits to fight against the Balaland Republic. The U.S. Neutrality Act plainly forbids U.S. citizens from engaging in military campaigns against any nation with which we are not at war. Since no war has been declared between the United States and the Balaland Republic, we should bring charges against these fanatics, who are in open defiance of the law.Which of the following, if true, would most weaken the argument above?(1)The Balaland Republic is currently engaged in a bloody and escalating civil war.(2)Diplomatic relations between the United States and the Balaland Republic were severed last year.(3)The recruits are being trained to fight only in the event the United States goes to war against the Balaland Republic(4)The training of recruits is funded not by U.S. citizens, but rather by a consortium of individuals from abroad.Q15.Critics of strict "promotional gates" at the grade school level point to a recent study comparing students forced to repeat a grade, with those promoted despite failing scores on an unscheduled, experimental competency test. Since there was no significant difference between the two groups' scores on a second test administered after completion of the next higher grade level, these critics argue that the retention policy has failed in its expressed purpose of improving students' basic skills.Which of the following best expresses the argument made by critics of promotional gates?(1)Anxiety over performance on standardized tests often hinders a student's ability to master challenging new material(2)A student's true intellectual development cannot be gauged by his score on a standardized competency test.(3)The psychological damage, a child suffers by repeating a grade outweighs the potential intellectual benefits of a second chance at learning.(4)Strict requirements for promotion do not lead to harder work and greater mastery of fundamentals among students fearful of being held back.Q16.Statistics show that more than half of the nation's murder victims knew their assailants; in fact, 24% last year were killed by relatives. Nor was death always completely unexpected. In one study, about half the murder victims in a particular city had called for police protection at least 5 times during the 24 months before they were murdered. Nonetheless, most people are more likely to fear being killed by a stranger in an unfamiliar situation than by a friend or relative at home.Which of the following, if true, best explains the reaction of most people to the likelihood of being murdered? (1)Statistics are likely to be discounted no matter what the source, if their implication seems to run counter to common sense.(2)In the face of such upsetting problems as murder and assault, most people are more likely to react emotionally than rationally.(3)Most people do not consider themselves to be in the high-risk groups in which murder occurs frequently between relations, but do see themselves as at least minimally susceptible to random violence.(4)People who seek police protection from relatives and friends are often unwilling to press charges when the emotions of the moment have cooled.Q17.The extent to which a society is really free can be gauged by its attitude towards artistic expression. Freedom of expression can easily be violated in even the most outwardly democratic societies. When a government arts council withholds funding from a dance performance that its members deem "obscene," the voices of a few bureaucrats have in fact censored the work of the choreographer, thereby committing the real obscenity of repression.Which of the following, if true, would most seriously weaken the argument above?(1)Members of government arts councils are screened to ensure that their beliefs reflect those of the majority.(2)The term obscenity has several different definitions that should not be used interchangeably for rhetorical effect.(3)Failing to provide financial support for a performance is not the same as actively preventing or inhibiting it.(4)The definition of obscenity is something on which most members of a society can agree.Q18.The local high school students have been clamouring for the freedom to design their own curricula. Allowing this would be as disastrous as allowing 3-year-olds to choose their own diets. These students have neither the maturity nor the experience to equal that of the professional educators now doing the job.Which of the following statements, if true, would most strengthen the above argument?(1)High school students have less formal education than those who currently design the curricula.(2)The local high school students are less intelligent than the average teenager.(3)Individualized curricula are more beneficial to high school students than are the standard curricula, which are rigid and unresponsive to their particular strengths and weaknesses.(4)The ability to design good curricula develops only after years of familiarity with educational life.Q19.The rate of violent crime in this state is up 30% from last year. The fault lies entirely in our court system : Recently our judges' sentences have been so lenient, that the criminals can now do almost anything without fear for a long prison term.(1)85% of the other states in the nation have lower crime rates than does this state(2)white-collor crime in this state has also increased by over 25% in the last year(3)35% of the police in this state have been laid off in the last year due to budget cuts(4)polls show that 65% of the population in this state oppose capital punishmentQ 20.The education offered by junior colleges just after the World War II had a tremendous practical effect on family-run businesses throughout the country. After learning new methods of marketing, finance, and accounting, the sons and daughters of merchants returned home, often to increase significantly the size of the family's enterprise or to maximize profits in other ways.Which of the following statements is best supported by the information above?(1)The junior colleges principally emphasized methods of increasing the size of small businesses.(2)The business curricula at junior colleges did not include theoretical principles of management.(3)Without the influence of junior colleges, many family-run businesses would have been abandoned as unprofitable.(4)Business methods in many post war family-run businesses changed significantly as a result of the junior colleges.Q21.Techniques to increase productivity in the performance of discrete tasks, by requiring less human labour in each step of the production process, are widely utilized. Consultants on productivity enhancement point out, however, that although these techniques achieve their specific goal, they are not without drawbacks. They often instill enough resentment in the workforce eventually to lead to a slowdown in the production process as a whole.Which of the following can be reasonably inferred from the statements above?(1)The fact that productivity enhancement techniques are so widely employed has led to a decline in the ability of American businesses to compete abroad.(2)If productivity enhancement consultants continue to utilize these techniques, complete work stoppages will eventually result.(3)Ironically, an increase in the productivity of discrete tasks may result in a decrease in the productivity of the whole production process.(4)Production managers are dissatisfied with the efforts that productivity enhancement consultants have made to increase productivity.Q22.Time and time again, it has been shown that students who attend colleges with low faculty / student ratios get the most well-rounded education. As a result, when my children are ready for college, I'll be sure they attend a school with a very small student population.Which of the following, if true, identifies the greatest flaw in the reasoning above?(1)A low faculty / student ratio is the effect of a well-rounded education, not its source.(2)A very small student population does not, by itself, ensure a low faculty / student ratio.(3)Parental desires and preferences rarely determine a child's choice of a college or university.(4)Students must take advantage of the low faculty / student ratio by intentionally choosing small classes.Q23.The increase in the number of newspaper articles exposed as fabrications serves to bolster the contention that publishers are more interested in boosting circulation than in printing the truth. Even minor publications have staff to check such obvious fraud.The argument above assumes that(1)newspaper stories exposed as fabrications are a recent phenomenon(2)everything a newspaper prints must be factually verifiable(3)only recently have newspaper admitted to publishing intentionally fraudulent stories(4)the publishers of newspapers are the people who decide what to print in their newspapersQ24.Our architecture schools must be doing something wrong. Almost monthly we hear of domes and walkways collapsing in public places, causing great harm to human life. In their pursuit of some dubious aesthetic, architects design buildings that sway, crumble, and even shed windows into our cities' streets. This kind of incompetence will disappear only when the curricula of our architecture schools devote less time to so-called artistic consideration and more time to the basics of good design.Which of the following, if true, would most seriously weaken the argument above?(1)All architecture students are given training in basic physics and mechanics.(2)Most of the problems with modern buildings stem from poor construction rather than poor design.(3)Less than 50% of the curriculum at most architecture schools is devoted to aesthetics.(4)Architects study as long and as intensively as most other professionals.Q25.World War II had a profound effect on the growth of nascent businesses. The Acme Packaging Company netted only $10,000 in the year before the war. By 1948 it was earning almost 10 times that figure.The argument above depends upon which of the following assumptions(1)Acme's growth rate is representative of other nascent businesses.(2)An annual profit of $10,000 is not especially high.(3)Wars inevitably stimulate a nation's economy.(4)Acme is not characterized by responsible, far-sighted managers.Q26.This editorial cannot be a good argument because it is barely literate. Run-on sentences, slang, and perfectly dreadful grammar appear regularly throughout. Anything that is poorly written cannot be making very much sense.Which of the following identifies an assumption in the argument above.(1)This editorial was written by someone other than the usual editor.(2)Generally speaking, very few editorials are poor in style or grammar.(3)The language of an argument is indicative of its validity.(4)The author of the editorial purposely uses poor grammar to disguise what he knows is a bad argument.Directions for Q.

Section - II : ENGLISHDirections for Question no. 46-55: The passage in this section is followed by questions based on the content of the reading passage. Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question. The questions are to be answered on the basis of what is stated or implied in the passage.No one has ever suggested that grinding pauperism can lead to anything else but moral degradation. Every human being has a right to live and therefore to find the wherewithal to feed himself and where necessary to clothe and house himself. But for this very simple performance we need no assistance from economists or their laws. 'Take no thought for the morrow' is an injunction which finds an echo in almost all the religious scriptures of the world. In a well - ordered society, the securing of one's livelihood should be and is found to be the easiest thing in the world. Indeed, the test of orderliness in a country is not the number of millionaires it owns but the absence of starvation among its masses. The only statement that has to be examined is : whether it can be laid down as a law of universal application that material advancement means moral progress.Now let us take a few illustrations. Rome suffered moral fall when it attained high material affluence. So did Egypt and perhaps most countries of which we have any historical record. The descendants and kinsmen of the royal and divine Krishna too fell when they were rolling in riches. We do not deny to the Rockefellers and the Carnegies possession of an ordinary measure of morality, but we gladly judge them indulgently. I mean that we do not even expect them to satisfy the highest standard of morality. With them material gain has not necessarily meant moral gain. In South Africa, where I had the privilege of associating with thousands of our countrymen on most intimate terms, I observed almost invariably that the greater the possession of riches, the greater was their moral turpitude.Q.46What does grinding pauperism lead to ?(1)Spiritual elevation(2)Intellectual progress(3)Moral degradation(4)Appreciation of aesthetic beautyQ47.What right does every individual have ?(i)A right to live(ii)A right to find food to feed himself (iii) A right to clothe and house himself (1)I only is correct(2)II only is correct (3)III only is correct(4)I, II and III are correctQ48.Which injunction finds an echo in religious books ?(1)Think of tomorrow(2)Think of the past(3)Take no thought for tomorrow(4)Submit to God's serviceQ49.The easiest thing available in a well - ordered society is -(1)Richness(2)Fashion(3)Employment(4) The securing of one's livelihoodQ50.What is the acid test of orderliness in a country?(1)Absence of starvation(2)Order and safety(3)Absence of diseases(4)Absence of unemploymentQ51.What is to be examined by the author ?(1)Whether material progress means moral progress(2)Whether absence of starvation means prosperity(3)Whether absence of diseases means a good society(4)Whether security and order mean civilizationQ52.When did Rome suffer moral downfall ?(1)When it was spiritually advanced(2)When it attained high material progress (3)When it attained progress in fashion(4)When it attained progress in knowledgeQ53.What happened to the descendants and kinsmen of the royal Krishna ?(1)They fought like dogs(2)They settled their old scores (3)They also fell when they were rolling in riches(4)They fought the battle of MahabharatQ54.The Rockefellers and the Carnegies do not -(1)Help the poor nations(2)Rise above personal prejudices(3)Compete with each other(4)Satisfy the highest standard of moralityQ55.The title below that best expresses the ideas of the passage is-(1)Take no Thought for the Morrow(2)The fall of Great nations(3)Material versus Moral progress(4)The standard of MoralityDirections for Questions no. 56 to 60 : Choose the most suitable preposition from the options given below each sentence, and place them next to the verb in the bold to obtain the correct phrasal verb which makes the sentence complete and meaningful.Q56.The exhaust fumes from the cars were so strong that Sheila passed _______ .

Section - V : Legal ReasoningQ156.Read the facts and the principle situation carefully and then choose the most appropriate option. Facts : Cheryl, who had been learning Jazz and Ballet from Ricky for the last 15 years, was elated when he informed her that a great contract with the established dance company, Ballet Inc. had come her way. The contract's terms included: she would not be allowed to enter into a contract with any other company for a period of 20 years, 10% of her earnings would go to Ricky and 20% to the company. A few years after she had signed the deal, she realised that the limitations under the contract far outweighed the benefits; also that Ricky had been paid large sum to get her to sign the contract. Feeling cheated, Cheryl approaches you to determine the legal validity of the contract. Principle: A contract is said to be induced by undue influence where the relations existing between the parties are such that one of the parties is in a position to dominate the will of the other and uses that position to obtain an unfair advantage over the other. 1.The contract is void as Ricky was in a position to influence her will and he abused that position by making her sign a contract that was obviously to her detriment.2.The contract is voidable by virtue of the consent being obtained by undue influence.3.The contract is valid as Cheryl should have used her discretion when signing the same instead of relying on Ricky's words.4.The contract is validated by the passage of a reasonable period of time after it had been signed; hence rendering the presence of undue influence is irrelevantQ157.Apply the Principles to the given facts and choose the appropriate option Principle : A patent is granted to the inventor for exclusive commercial use of his invention. A patent is granted only if the thing invented is novel, non obvious and industrially useful.Facts: Arogya Singh, a farmer comes to know that the roots of 'Senthilia' herb has unique healing properties. He applies the paste of the roots of the said herb to many persons and their wounds were cured. He even experimented it on animals and found that applying the roots of Senthilia cured many serious sores on the bodies of cows. He applies for the grant of patent for inventing Senthilia as a herbal medicine. 1.Arogya Singh would get a patent because he has invented something, which is novel and industrially useful.2.Arogya Singh would not get a patent because herbal products are not patented.3.Arogya Singh would get a patent because he has experimented in finding healing properties of Senthalia on men and animals.4.Arogya Singh would not get a patent because his research is not novel and non-obvious.Q158.Read the facts and the principle situation carefully and then choose the most appropriate option. Principle : Whosoever, intending to take dishonestly any movable property out of the possession of any person without that person's consent, and moves that property in order to such taking is said to commit theft. Fact: A man sees an attractive watch on his friend's dresser. Intending to steal it, he picks it up and starts walking out of the door. Just before he can exit, his friend notices that the watch is missing and exclaims loudly. Panicking, the man leaves it on a table near the exit and leaves. 1.He has committed theft, even though the property hasn't managed to gain possession of that property, and not moved it out of the house.2.It is only an attempt to commit theft.3.An attempt to commit an offence, even though unsuccessful, still does not absolve a person of his liability under criminal law.4.No offence has been committed, because the attempt was ultimately foiled.Q159.Apply the Principles to the given facts and choose the appropriate option Principle : No one can accept a proposal without any knowledge thereof.Facts: Honey Tandon's prized pet Lindsay, a Pomerian could not be found as it wandered away from its kennel. Distraught with grief, she advertised everywhere- newspapers, television channels, radio, the Internet, promising a hefty reward to anyone who could find the dog and bring it back. Mahendra, an ardent animal lover and Greenpeace activist, was told by his friend Vinod that he had heard something about a lost precious dog of a movie star. Driven by his sense of activism and being a Good Samaritan, Mahendra searched high and low for the dog, and finally, after being able to locate it, asked around about its owner, and guided by some neighbourhood people, could reach Honey Tandon's house and return the dog to her. While he was returning after having given back the dog, those who had guided him congratulated him for the hefty reward he had received. Mahendra was completely taken by surprise because he had no clue about the reward 1.Mahendra would not get the money because he had taken the action without knowing about the reward.2.Honey would have to pay because the reward was promised to anyone who found and returned the dog.3.Honey need not pay because the contract was limited to only those who had seen the advertisement on television and newspapers, or heard about it on the radio.4.Having acted out of his sense of humanism, now Mahendra cannot seek undue benefits.Q160.A and B set up a windmill on A's land to generate power for both of their properties. In a, freak, unpredicted and exceptionally violent thunder storm, the windmill is knocked down and kills two sheeps and four cows belonging to B. Another sheep and cow died of the shock. B seeks to claim damages from A on the grounds of strict liability? Will he succeed?Principle : Strict liability is attracted upon a person who brings a dangerous thing on to his land with a view to making a non-natural use of the land and the thing subsequently escapes. The defences to such liability include plaintiff's default, plaintiff's consent, act of god, act of third party and statutory authority. 1.A is liable. All the conditions are met.2.A is not liable. He is protected by the defence of "Act of God".3.A is not liable. He is protected by the twin defences of Act of God and Plaintiff's consent.4.A and B should share the responsibility and remember that friendship is more important than mere monetary gain.Q161.Read the fact situation below and the choose the correct option.Srishti promised Sharmila, vide an agreement, that she would give her daughter Kareena's hand in marriage to the latter's son Saif after he turns 21. Subsequently, Kareena falls head-over-heels in love with Shahid, and dares her mother to force her into an unwanted marriage, and even threatens to take her own life. The marriage which Srishti had promised has to be called off, without any remedy being available to the aggrieved parties, because : If Kareena goes ahead with her threat, then Shristii and Sharmila would stand the risk of being prosecuted for abetment of suicide. 1.A contract in restraint of marriage is void2.A contract in restraint of marriage is illegal3.Only written agreements have legal validity4.Nobody can be held liable for such situations.Q162.Apply the Principles to the given facts and choose the appropriate option Principle : In order to declare President's Rule in a particular State, the President of India shall seek a report from the Governor, and decide on the basis of such report. The Governor shall base this report on his analysis and judgement of the situation. The report of the Governor is amenable to judicial review only if it is mala fide.Facts: Following sporadic riots on a large scale in the state of Andhernagari, the ruling party at the Centre wanted to clamp President's Rule in the State. However, the party which was in the Opposition at the Centre vehemently opposed it. The same party was also the ruling party in the State of Andhernagari. The Governor of Andhernagari, in his report, stated that the situation looked difficult, but there was no urgent need for President's Rule. Still, the Centre goes ahead, and President's Rule is declared. The ruling party in Andhernagariapproached the Supreme Court against the imposition of President's Rule, claiming it was based on irrelevance. 1.The Governor's report was totally bona fide, and anyway, the basis of such report cannot be challenged in a Court of law.2.The Governor's report would be quashed and held as ultra vires the Constitution.3.The Governor's report would be quashed, since it was prepared with a dishonest intention.4.The imposition of President's Rule would be quashed, since it was done out of purely political vendetta.Q163.M was a famous Page Three personality and well known in the media and in society. He died in March. A month later a popular gossip magazine published a story claiming that M had had many affairs during the course of his life and that his heirs were fighting amongst each other and allegations of illegitimacy were being bandied about. M's heirs (children and wife) brought an action against the magazine for defaming them. Will it succeed? Assume that no defence applies.Principle 1 : The tort of defamation is established when it is proven that a statement referring to the plaintiff has been published and the statement is such that could be expected to lower the reputation of the plaintiff in the estimation of reasonable members of society. Principle 2: A dead man can't be defamed. 1.No. M is dead.2.Yes. The reputations of his family have been besmirched.3.No. This is only the truth and the newspaper has proof.4.No. It is only gossip and no reasonable man takes it seriously.Q164.Apply the Principles to the given facts and choose the appropriate option Principle : One who institutes prosecution against another without reasonable cause, or out of malice, is guilty of the tort of malicious prosecution.Facts : Deep and Kabir are sworn enemies. Once, there is a theft at Deep's house, and smelling a golden opportunity to have revenge on Kabir, he names the latter as being a key conspirator. Kabir is arrested and tried, but found innocent and thus acquitted of the crime of committing the robbery at Deep's house. However, in course of their investigation, the police had come across concrete evidence of Kabir being involved in some other robberies in the neighbourhood six years ago. Accordingly, proceedings are instituted, and Kabir is convicted and sentenced. After serving his sentence, Kabir files a suit for malicious prosecution against Deep. 1.Deep is guilty because he named Kabir in the complaint only to seek revenge.2.Deep is not guilty because Kabir has been convicted of robberies in the neighbourhood.3.The robberies which Kabir had committed and been convicted of, had taken place way back in the past and this would in no way weaken Kabir's case against Deep.4.Kabir would succeed, because theft and robbery are entirely different offences.Q165.Read the facts and the principle situation carefully and then choose the most appropriate option. Facts : Frida entered into a contract with Ms. Sedan to buy a 1950s red Cadillac convertible. She purchased the car on Jan. 21, 2009 and was all set to drive it when she found out that the car wasn't a1950s but infact 1970s car. When she demanded an explanation, Ms Sedan informed her that she believed the car to be a 1950s model at the time of the sale. Frida now seeks to question the validity of the contract.Principle 1: Where both parties to an agreement are under a mistake as to a matter of fact essential to the agreement, the agreement is void. Principle 2: Misrepresentation includes, causing, however innocently, a party to an agreement, to make a mistake as to the substance of the thing which is the subject of the agreement. 1.The contract is valid as the mistake is only as regards an attribute or quality and not as regards the substance.2.The contract is invalid as the mistake is as regards the substance and not just an attribute or quality.3.No contract has been entered into in the first place due to the absence of consensus ad idem.4.The contract is binding upon Frida as she being the buyer should have exercised due care to check the car before purchasing it.Q166.Read the facts and the principle situation carefully and then choose the most appropriate option. Facts : Number Game is a daily competition held by a newspaper. One has to complete the cryptic sudoku, enclose the same along with Rs. 500 in an envelope and send it to the office. After this, a lucky draw would be held and a winner would be accordingly chosen from among the entire week's entries who would receive Rs. 50,000/- as prize money. Mr. Gyaan was adjudged the winner one week but was given only Rs. 30,500. He files a suit for the remainder of the amount.Principle 1 : An agreement is unenforceable if its consideration or object is forbidden by law.Principle 2 : Wagering is forbidden by law. 1.Mr. Gyaan will succeed; by winning the lucky draw he has provided the consideration which can bind the newspaper to its promise of the payment of Rs. 50,000/-2.Mr. Gyaan will not succeed as the component of a lucky draw converts the character of this contract to a wagering agreement which is unenforceable.3.Mr. Gyaan will succeed as the contract was not a wagering agreement but was infact based on skill, completing the sudoku, and is hence enforceable.4.Mr. Gyaan will not succeed as the contract is void on account of its object being forbidden by law.Q167.Apply the Principles to the given facts and choose the appropriate option Principle : No person shall be prosecuted or punished for the same offence more than once.Facts : Mr. Natwarlal, the Treasurer of Sikandar Cargo Handling Company Pvt. Ltd. was charged with misappropriating large sums of money from the office funds. Besides a case of theft, departmental proceedings were also instituted against him for grave professional misconduct and other similar charges. He was convicted by the Court of the Metropolitan Magistrate, Mumbai and sentenced to three years imprisonment along with a fine. The Departmental Proceedings had been stayed till the disposal of Mr. Natwarlal's Appeal to the High Court against the Order of the Magistrate. The High Court affirmed the decision of the Magistrate. After he had served his sentence, the Departmental Proceedings, which had been kept in abeyance till that time, were started again. Mr. Natwarlal challenges the fresh institution of Departmental Proceedings in the High Court by way of a Writ Petition. 1.Mr. Natwarlal is protected by the Fundamental Right against double jeopardy, and hence would succeed in his Writ.2.The Departmental Proceedings would be rendered infructuous since he has already been convicted and sentenced by the Court, and also served the sentence imposed on him.3.Mr. Natwarlal's Writ would fail, since in the Order of conviction, both the Courts had left it open for Sikandar Cargo Handling Company to pursue separate actions against him.4.Remedies in criminal law are independent of Departmental Proceedings.Q168.John, Thomson, Robert, Smith and Chriss entered into an agreement to destroy an office building of the Government of India. John purchased AK-47 rifles and guns and explosive. Thomson supplied vehicles. Robert contributed money. Smith and Chriss made arrangements, conducted meetings and made plans for the commission of the act. John, Thomson and Robert before reaching the office building were apprehended by police and were shot dead. Decide about the offence of Smith and Chriss: 1.Smith and Chris are not guilty of conspiracy as they had not gone in the vehicle for committing crime.2.Liability of Smith and Chriss comes to end with the death of main accused persons viz. John,Thomson and Robert3.As no offence is committed no one is responsible4.Smith and Chriss are to be punished as it is immaterial in the criminal law, whether illegal act is ultimate object of the agreement or merely incidental to that object.Q169.Apply the Principles to the given facts and choose the appropriate option Principle : Any unreasonable interference with another person's right to enjoy his property constitutes the tort of nuisance. Facts : Kumaran, a diehard vegetarian, shifts to Lucknow for work, and is in urgent need of accommodation. Unable to find anything at such short notice, he has no option but to take a house on rent located very close to the Kababchi Gali. He is put to severe discomfort because Sukhvinder, his neighbour and a great meat aficionado, is always cooking fish and sheep's meat, and this smell makes Kumaran vomit quite often. The smell from the kabab shops all around also bothers him, but he is yet to take up the matter with them. All his requests to Sukhvinder having been given the cold shoulder, Kumaran files a suit for nuisance. 1.Kumaran's suit will be dismissed because Sukhvinder was well within his rights to cook anything he pleased in his own house.2.Kumaran will win, because Sukhvinder ought to have given at least some consideration to his requests, since they were next-door neighbours in the same building.3.Kumaran will lose, since he very well knew how things would be like before taking up residence in that area and building.4.Kumaran should have proceeded against the kabab shops first.Q170.Apply the Principles to the given facts and choose the appropriate option Principle : Damages cannot be claimed against a risk to which consent has been given.Facts : Freaky Joe enjoys disrupting cricket matches by streaking into the ground, and trying to hug the players. While a match was in progress, he streaks into the ground and lunges towards Matthew Bullock and attempts to give him a bear hug, shouting that he is Matthew's greatest fan.
