18 Why does the Right to Equality reject exemption from punishment based on office and prestige?
0 reads0 helpful★ – (0)
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Because equal accountability before law is necessary
Explanation: Direct answer: Option A, because equal accountability before law is necessary. The rule of law means that legal responsibility does not disappear because a person holds office, has prestige or belongs to an influential group. Step by step: a person may occupy a high post; that person may still violate a law; the violation must be examined under the same legal principle; therefore office cannot create exemption from punishment. Option A is correct because equal accountability protects fairness and prevents privilege. Option B is wrong because prestigious people are not outside the law. Option C is wrong because punishment is not reserved for poor people; lawful responsibility applies to all persons. Option D is too absolute and therefore wrong: courts can consider a person’s office when applying proper legal procedure, but office cannot create immunity merely because of prestige. The key idea is not identical punishment in every circumstance, but equal application of law and fair procedure. Memory cue: position may bring duties, never automatic immunity.
20 Which statement shows both Right to Equality and rule of law clearly?
0 reads0 helpful★ – (0)
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. From Prime Minister to ordinary citizen all are within law
Explanation: The direct answer is A: from the Prime Minister to an ordinary citizen, all are within the law. The Right to Equality means that people are not given a higher legal status merely because of office, wealth, or power. Rule of law means that law governs everyone and public officials must also act within legal limits. The reasoning is: the Prime Minister holds an important office; an ordinary citizen has no such office; nevertheless, both remain subject to the law; courts and lawful institutions can apply legal standards without treating high office as automatically above them. Option A is correct because it states both equal legal status and universal application of law. Option B is wrong because a law limited only to ordinary citizens would create unequal treatment. Option C is wrong because leaders are not above the Constitution or law. Option D is wrong because courts can examine equality and related rights when deciding cases. This principle does not mean everyone has identical duties in every situation; officials may have special responsibilities, but those responsibilities do not place them outside the law. Exam cue: “no one is above the law” is the key phrase linking equality with rule of law.
23 What conclusion emerges by studying caste-based humiliation and sex-based exclusion together under Right to Equality?
0 reads0 helpful★ – (0)
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Equality protects civic dignity from different forms of discrimination
Explanation: Direct answer: Option A, equality protects civic dignity from different forms of discrimination. Studying caste-based humiliation and sex-based exclusion together shows that discrimination can occur on more than one social ground. Step by step: caste and sex are different identities; unfair treatment based on either identity denies equal respect and opportunity; the Right to Equality challenges such discrimination; therefore equality protects dignity broadly, not narrowly. Option A is correct because it captures the common principle behind both examples. Option B is wrong because equality is not only about economic tax; it concerns status, opportunity, legal protection and social treatment. Option C is wrong because titles are only a small matter and do not represent the full right. Option D is wrong because social behaviour is a major area in which discrimination and humiliation occur. Equality does not mean ignoring all differences; it means differences must not be used arbitrarily to deny equal worth or rights. Memory cue: identify the discriminatory ground, then ask whether equal dignity is denied.
