$t is a well settled legal principle that the burden of proof always rests with the party instituting t

suit unless the contrary is mandated by law. %oreover& given the set of facts that clearly state th

%r. ' was usually of sound mind& which further presses upon the fact that deviation from usu

mental state need be proven by the other party and not %r. '.

A is the correct answer.

Question No. 115

$n order to answer this "uestion& the ambit of ‘course of employment’ need be understood. (ecourse of employment refers only to dropping the customer and coming back. $t is true that t

accident has taken place when the driver was coming back& and thus it is within the course

employment) but dropping uhina safely was never within the course of employment and hence t

employer firm is not liable.

*Acting in the course of employment* means the worker acting at his or her employer+s direction or

the furtherance of his or her employer+s business. This is the currently accepted legal definitio

,icking up his fianc-e was not in the course of his employment. $f he had gone on a murder spr

while driving back& it would not be considered to be in the course of employment and the compa

would not be responsible. ikewise& there is no liability here.

/!ne day& the %anager asked him to drop a customer at the airport and get back at the earliest0.

%oreover& there was a clear instruction for a speedy return without any other delays.

Considering these& option 1 is the most appropriate.

Question No. 116

Answer should be 1.

"ueue gets long& that+s not his problem. And it definitely doesn+t amount to nuisance.

2ssentials !f ,ublic 3uisance :

a. 4rongful Act.b. $n5ury or loss caused by such act to another.c. 6nlawful $nterference.

$n the given facts of "uestion 778 none of the essentials are fulfilled.

$n CAT 97; same "uestion was given and the answer was 1.

The principle clearly states that the interference has to be unlawful& and in the instant case) tinterference is not unlawful because the defendant has committed no wrong. The act alleged

causing nuisance is that of the customers and cannot be attributed to the shopkeeper.

$n this case& the answer


5/15

>iven principle clearly states that in circumstances when silence is e"uivalent to speech& there i

duty to speak. $n the given set of facts& A is auctioning the horse and it shall be presumed by all t

The given answer


6/15

$n this "uestion& in statement ‘1’ the word ‘wealth’ is misspelled and should be written as ‘health

9/15

The answer for "uestion ;G is definitely wrong. The official answer is option D B discouragement

e?ports. This is wrong. 3owhere does the author in the passage talk about the governme

discouraging e?ports. The passage talks about the government discouraging imports. This mea

option 1 should be the correct option: discouragement of imports.

Question No. 37

The passage does not have any reference to *politicians*& it has only talked about the *governme

and to e?trapolate >overnment to all politicians will be incorrect. The correct answer should ha

been *$ndian government has been myopic in its vision of the country+s re"uirement. $f this is ignor

and we choose to read ,oliticians as ,olicies or treat them e"uivalent to government& even th

there are two correct options B option +A+ and option +1+.

Inowledge.

mention of /unsound mind of the father0 in the "uestion. Thus& the answer is debatable.

There is no e?press statement that ‘A’ is unsound of mind. $f his sanity is determined by the fact th

he threw an infant into the well& the facts should have bee clearer. There are records of nine we

old babies learning to swim.


12/15

The threeByearBold could have been a proficient swimmer. The "uestion is flawed and marks shou

be awarded for all candidates.

Question No. 136

This "uestion is highly debatable because it is really difficult to conclude as to whether the act of

running towards the well constitutes attempt or preparation. $n my view& it is definitely a stage pa

preparation because she has started running towards the well and is also stating that she is going t5ump. %oreover& the e?planation is untenable because it is presumed in law that a man is intending

what heshe is consciously saying.

Question No. 137

The answer is highly debatable.

B: Question needs to be canceed

B%: Question is wrong !1& questions"

the options are incorrect as a result.

Question No. 161 -168

14/15

Question No. 169 -173

The "uestion is picked up from CAT 9; but copied wrongly.

The data given in the table is wrong. For the person /$0& the numbers of the blanks answers should

be 7J& E8& @ instead of 7J& 98& @. This error must have disturbed many and the set should be

cancelled. $t is also affecting the answer of 78@ directly.

B: Question needs to be canceedB&: Question has 'is#rint !2 questions"
