Successfully adjusting to one's environment leads to happiness. War at a universal level destroys the weaker people,

who are the most unable to adjust to their environment. Thus, war at the universal level puts weaklings out of their

misery and allows more space for their predators to enjoy life in a better manner. As those actions have to be

performed, which maximize the level of happiness of the greatest number, war at a universal level should take place.

86. What response would the author of the above discussion come up with, in the case of the objection that the

weaklings far exceed strong people?

I. He would respond with the statement that the person making the objection is a weakling.

Instructions - Read the following passages carefully and answer the questions given below by selecting the most

appropriate alternative.

Passage 1

Literature and the Law by M.M. Gangades (1984)4 SCC

Lord Denning, by far one of the greatest living law persons, in his bookThe Discipline of law (1979), says "But when

I called to the Bar, I had to become proficient with words. I did it by drawing on my reserves of English Literature...The

titles in succession are the Great Authors, Macaulay, Carlyle and Milton. Reading these and others provided the

essentials: a wide vocabulary of words, and an understanding of the meaning attached to them by the masters of the

language." The words of this great Judge should not be lost to the members of the legal profession today. For striving

towards excellence will bring Justice closer to the common man.

Moreover, as early as in 1612 Sir Francis Bacon, himself a lawyer and for some time Attorney General of England,

wrote an essay titled " Of Judicature". In a word of advice to the bench, he says "Judges ought to be more learned

than witty, more reverend than plausible, and more advised than confident. Above all things integrity is their potion

and proper delight." But this advice will have to be taken with a pinch of salt because Bacon himself was not above

board even for Elizabethan times. As for the lawyers Dr. Samuel Johnson suggests "Say all you can for your client

and then hear the Judge's opinion". One only hopes more lawyers take this advice.


14/22

Unfortunately society's experience with lawyers has been much below par and literature brings this out wonderfully.

For even Lord Brougham, one of the greatest law reforms of the Common Law, describes a lawyer thus: "A lawyer is

a learned gentlemen who rescues your estate from your enemies and keeps it himself." And possibly he is not entirely

wrong. John Keats in a moment of exasperation once said "I think we may class the lawyer in the natural history of

monsters." The great Shakespeare, not to be left behind, has suggested dire consequences in Henry VI, Part IIwhen

one of his characters blurts out "The first thing we do, let's kill all lawyers". But not all lawyers have been known for

their guile. Some have done yeoman service to their nations.

91. What do you think Lord Denning did to improve his proficiency with words?

(a) Wrote a lot of books on law such as "The Discipline of Law"

(b) Read a lot of good books by authors such as Macaulay and Carlyle

(c) Used vocabulary which he thought was appropriate.

(d) Learn good vocabulary from people.

92. According to Francis Bacon, what is the advice given to judges?

(a) Judges should give good judgment in good language.

(b) Judges should use literary language to express their reasoning.

(c) The judges should deliver judgments which are probable and which can be respected, instead of using

amusing and impressive languages.

(d) Judges should use witty language to pass judgments.

93. Great literary figures like Keats, Shakespeare, share the following view about lawyers.(a) Lawyers are clever people who are like ugly creatures, who can win your case, but pocket your money, so

they need to be done away with.

(b) Lawyers can rescue your property; they can earn name and fame.

(c) Lawyers need to be respected and held high in opinion for their wonderful work.

(d) Unfortunately lawyers are not given much respect though they deserve.

Passage 2:

Excerpt from The Power and the Glory by Graham Greene

Suddenly, he realized that he could see a face, and then another; he had begun to forget that it would ever be another

day, just as one forgets that one will ever die. It comes suddenly on one in a screeching brake or a whistle in the air,

the knowledge that time moves and comes to an end. All the voices slowly became faces - there were no surprises.The confessional teaches you to recognize the shape of a voicethe loose lip of the weak chin and the false candour

of the too straightforward eyes. He saw the pious woman a few feet away, uneasily dreaming with her prim mouth

open, showing strong teeth like tombs: the old man: the boaster in the corner, and his woman asleep untidily across

his knees. Now that the day was at last here, he was the only one awake, except for a small Indian boy who sat

cross-legged near the door with an expression of interested happiness, as if he had never known such friendly

company. Over the courtyard the whitewash became visible upon the opposite wall. He began formally to pay his

farewell to the world: he couldn't put any heart in it. His corruption was less evident to his senses than his death. One

bullet, he thought, is almost certain to go directly through the heart a squad must contain one accurate marksman.

Life would go out in a 'fraction of a second' (that was the phrase), but all night he had been realizing that time depends

on clocks and the passage of light. There were no clocks and the light wouldn't change. Nobody really knew how long

a second of pain could be. It might last a whole purgatory or forever. For some reason he thought of a man he had

once shrived who was on the point of death with cancer -' his relatives had had to bandage their faces, the smell of the

rotting interior was so appalling. He wasn't a saint. Nothing in life was as ugly as death.

Passage 5This contract is so one sided, I am astonished to find it written on both sides of the paper.

Lord Evershed M.R.

This article looks at the various existing systems of interpretation of standard form contracts (such as tickets to a

cricket match), and after reviewing each system's plus points and minus points, it attempts to evolve an alternative

system.

The Indian cricket team was due to play a cricket match against South African cricket team in Chennai on 22-11 -

2005. Cricket lovers bought the tickets by the thousands. They paid varying sums of money for their tickets and

handed over the cash to the gentlemen behind the counter. The gentleman checked the tender and put it in his pocket

and waited in anticipation for the day to arrive. Of course, instead of folding the ticket, if he had opened up the ticket

and looked at the reverse side, he would have noted about six printed conditions, one of which was, "No refund will be

given under any circumstances".

The 22nd day of November turned out to be a very rainy day, and the match was called off without a single ball being

bowled. It was then that the cricket fans discovered that as per the conditions in the printed ticket, they would get no

refund at all. As on the date of this writing, the cricket authorities had not accepted to any request for refund. The

problem remains unresolved.

Some interesting legal issues arise in these circumstances:

1) Generally speaking, what is the legitimacy/validity of a clause in a printed form of contract?2) What are the limits on its enforceability?

A leading authority on the law of Contracts states that a problem may arise in proving the terms of the agreement

where it is sought to be shown that they are contained in a contract in a printed form i.e in some ticket, receipt, or other

standard form document. Chitty states:

"The other party may have signed the document, in which case he is bound by its terms. More often, however, it is

simply handed to him at the time of making the contract and the question will then arise whether printed conditions

which it contains have become terms of the contract. The party receiving the document will probably not trouble to

read it, and may even be ignorant that it contains any conditions at all. Yet standard form of contracts very frequently

embodies clauses which purport to impose obligations on him or to exclude or restrict the liability of the person

supplying the document. Thus, it becomes important to determine whether these clauses should be given contractualeffect."

A valid contract requires offer and acceptance, that is to say an acceptance made, fully conscious of and alive to the

terms and conditions of the proposal. Of course, that is not to say that a man who signs an agreement blindfolded will

be relieved from his obligations under that agreement, simply because he later chooses to discard the blindfold.

However, what S. 2 (b) require is that the acceptor must have a real opportunity to review the proposal and decide on

whether to accept or not.

A standard form of contract purports to represent the terms of the bargain between the parties thereto. It purports to

embody the consensus between the parties. In short, it purports to be "an agreement enforceable by law."

To follow the principles laid down in the Indian Contract Act to the letter, one would require each and every clause in

an agreement to be discussed, negotiated and then finalized, and a consensus arrived at.

99. What can be an apt title for the above passage?

(a) Contract and Cricket (b) Essentials of Indian Contracts.

(c) Valid contracts (d) Offer and acceptance in Contracts


17/22

102. The cricket was called off without any reason.

(a) The statement is correct

(c) The statement is half correct.

103. There was no refund because-

(a) No games were played

(b) The people did not read the terms of the

contract

(c) It was not valid as there was no consensus

(d) There was no valid offer and acceptance.

104. What is the purpose for writing this article?

(a) To tell that no game of cricket was played on 22-11-2005.

(b) To tell that refund of ticket money was made by many people.(c) To relate the discontent of fans.

(d) To suggest a system of an alternate nature to deal with standard form contracts.

105. The Legal issues arising are-

(a) Whether printed form contract is valid and enforceable?

(b) Whether a ticket can be an agreement of contract?

(c) Whether the clauses are rightly drawn?

(d) Whether the purchaser needs to sign on the ticket to make it binding on the seller?

106. The Contracts Act demands that

(a) The contract agreement be written by both parties.

(b) The contract agreement be read by both parties.

(c) The contract agreement clauses be discussed, negotiated and f inalized before drawing it.

(d) The contract agreement must be agreed by both parties.

Passage 4:

Though the term 'liberty' comes from the Latin word liber meaning 'free', it has not meant the same thing for all

thinkers in the realm of western Political Philosophy. "The word 'free' is one which is often used, especially by

politicians, but it is not always clear what is meant. Thus, we may find a wide margin of difference between the views

of eminent political scientists ranging from that of Mill who treats liberty as something absolutely immune from

restraints at least in the 'self -'regarding sphere' of human activity to that of Laski who takes it as "the eager

maintenance of that atmosphere in which men have the opportunity to be their best selves.". It is owing to this

diversity that the negative and positive dimensions of liberty have been differently treated, particularly by the thinkers

of the English liberal school. At the same time, on account of the burden of serious limitations like happiness and

goodness, nature and reality, the meaning of this term has become "so porous that there is little interpretation that it

seems able to resist."

It follows that, like other important themes of normative political theory, the idea of liberty also cannot be defined in

quite precise terms. What really besets is how to reconcile the idea of liberty with the provision of restraints. In others

words, if liberty is to be differentiated from license or man's right to do what he wills, the issue of restraints is bound to

figure in. At the same time, what engages our attention is that if restraints can preserve liberty, these

(b) The statement is false

(d) Cannot say.

(b) Offer and Acceptance

(d) Only Acceptance

100. A valid contract requires

(a) Standard form of contracts

(c) Only an Offer

(b) Terms laid by either of the parties

(d) An offer

101. A standard form of contract embodies-

(a) Consensus (c) Written agreement

Neo-Nazis and other extremists have been held responsible for a wave of ethnic cleansing in the Bratiloyan Republic.

The United Nations estimates that over 20,000 people have been murdered there in the last six months. Dissidents

who have escaped from the country have asked the British Government to grant them asylum.

The government is to deport 500 illegal aliens whose visas have expired. Angry members of the opposition have

accused the government of institutional racism, as most of the deportees are of African origin. Meanwhile, the police

have been accused of harassment, after Asian families in Bradford complained that they have been pestered and

worried by officers following a series of robberies in the city.

for a total abolition of capital punishment, claiming that it is contrary to basic civil rights principles outlined in the

United Nations Declarations of Human Rights.

Rebels fighting the government of President Stanislow have taken control of the television station in the centre of the

capital. This follows a long-standing power struggle between Mr. Stanislow and the principal opposition party which

has seriously weakened his power.

A spokesman for the homeless community in London has presented a petition to the government asking them to

provide housing for everyone. He argues that the government's refusal to raise the minimum wage rate has resulted

in thousands living in poverty with not enough money to pay for somewhere to live. Meanwhile, the Metropolitan

Police evicted several squatters who took over a house in the city centre last week and refused to leave until the

government took positive action.

A recent survey reveals that at least 30% of public companies have been accused of discrimination and exploitation in

the past year. The main offender is Anglo-Amalgamated Telecommunications, a Bristol-based company. Their

company.

Passage 6:

It was very hot in the small court-room and everybody was feeling sleepy. After a tiring morning, the clerks were

anxious to get off to lunch and even the judge must have felt relieved when the last case came up before the court. A

short middle-aged man with grey hair, and small blue eyes was now standing before him. The man had a foolish

expression on his face and he kept looking around as if he was trying hard to understand what was going on. The man

was accused of breaking into a house and stealing a watch. The witness who was called did not give a very clear

account of what had happened. He claimed to have seen a man outside the house one night, but on being questioned

further, he confessed that he was not sure whether this was the man. The judge considered the matter for a short t imeand then declared that as there was no real proof, the man could not be found guilty of any crime. He said that the

case was dismissed and then rose to go. Meanwhile, the accused looked very puzzled. It was clear that he had not

understood a thing. Noticing this, the judge paused for a moment and then the man said suddenly, 'Excuse me, sir,

but do I have to give the watch back or not?'
