Please go through the following passage and answer Questions 14, 15 and 16

“Now, the question immediately arises as to what is the requirement of Article 14: what is the content and reach of the great equalizing principle enunciated in this article? There can be no doubt that it is a founding faith of the Constitution. It is indeed the pillar on which rests securely the foundation of our democratic republic …. We must reiterate here what was pointed out by the majority in E.P. Royappa v. Stae of Tamil Nadu and An. namely, that “from a positivistic point of view, equality is antithetic to arbitrariness. In fact equality and arbitrariness are sworn enemies; one belongs to the rule of law in a republic, while the other, to the whim and caprice of an absolute monarch. Where an act constitutional law and is therefore violative of Article 14”. Article 14 strikes at arbitrariness in State action and ensures fairness and equality of treatment. The principle of reasonableness, which legally as well as philosophically, is an essential element of equality or non-arbitrariness, pervades Article 14 like a brooding omnipresence and the procedure contemplated by Article 21 must answer the test of reasonableness in order to procedure contemplated by Article 21 must answer the test of reasonableness in order to be in conformity with Article 14. It must be “right and just and fair” and not arbitrary fanciful or oppressive; otherwise, it would be no procedure at all and the requirement of Article 21 would not be satisfied.”

16. Which approach of equality is highlighted in the above paragraph?

a) Traditional doctrinaire approach
b) Dynamic approach
c) Textual approach
d) None of the above

Please answer Questions No. 17, 18 and 19 on the basis of the following passage and facts situation

“The true test is whether the effect of the impugned action is to take away or abridge fundamental rights. If it be assumed that the direct object of the law or action has to be direct abridgment of the right of free speech by the impugned law or action it is to be related to the directness of effect and not to the directness of the subject matter of the impeached law or action.”

d) None of the above

19. Will the State be successful in its defence that the action is taken under the interest of the general public

a) Yes, because newspaper price and page control is in the interest of the general pubic

In the light of Article 74 (2) and decided cases, test the correctness of the following statements: Statement 1. The Courts are justified in probing as to whether there was any material on the basis of which the advice was given, and whether it was relevant for such advice and the President could have acted on it.
