Under rule of law punishment should be based on what?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Law and evidence

Under the rule of law, punishment cannot depend on a leader’s mood, a rumour, or a person’s caste. A person may be punished only when a known law applies and a fair process establishes the relevant facts. Evidence helps a court decide whether an allegation is supported. This protects innocent people from sudden, personal, or discriminatory punishment and makes legal decisions more predictable.

Option A is correct because both parts are necessary: the act must be prohibited by law, and the case must be assessed through reliable evidence and due procedure. A leader’s preference is not a legal standard, and a rumour is not proof. Caste is also irrelevant to guilt. Thus, law and evidence provide the proper basis for punishment, while the other options describe unfair grounds.
