Passage Based Questions: Legal Aptitude - 8 | Passage Based Questions for CLAT Preparation PDF Download

Remember this is an application question so we should apply knowledge regarding the epidemic rules. The person infected with the epidemic disease can be denied into private hospital on the pretext of health hazard to other patients and hospital staff. Instead he should be redirected to specific designated hospital. This rule doesn’t violate his fundamental right against discrimination because classification is the tool provided to the government also. So he can’t challenge in the court. And looking at option C he can’t approach police station because epidemic act provides special powers to the law enforcement agencies to curb the movement of infected people on issue of public safety. Instead he should be diverted at once to the epidemic hospital if he is infected with the contagion.
So option A is the answer. Other options can be ignored.

Looking at option A which provides partial explanation of why social media is jeopardizing the community and is bad due to misinformation and disinformation. Similarly option B adds a warning and advice to the above statement rather than providing reason behind the statement. Option D also explains an out of context reason for the statement. Only option A provides a fitting response to context of the statement in question above, that misinformation and disinformation is bad because it stigmatizes the community which is as lethal as pandemic.
So option C will be the answer.

To answer the above question we should critically examine the authors statement about the vulnerable who are being prejudiced due to pandemic. It is whole community which is being stigmatised due to virus. The author mentions doctors migrant workers, cops and Tablighi members who had been wrongly framed into vulnerable class. The new untouchables according to the author are people directly or indirectly affected with the virus.
So the answer is option D.

Critical examination of the statements reveals that the author is concerned with stigmatisation of the communities due to the virus. Option A is convincing but we should examine other options as well. Option B is the premise supporting the fact that misinformation and disinformation has caused more stigmata with the community. Similarly option C points that due to stigmatisation vulnerable classes are prejudiced. So it is also a supporting premise to option A and finally option D also expresses that battlers are also being stigmatised due to virus.
So option B, C and D are all supporting premises to option A which quite comfortably expresses the main point of the passage and is the answer.

According to the rules framed in epidemic act person acting in good faith to curb the infection gets infinite power and is not answerable to any legal suit or proceeding. So all the above options suggest that such actions can be taken by the state to curb the spread of infection and the citizens will be compelled to follow the guidelines irrespective of the tough and draconian actions by the state as they are acting in good faith and cannot be challenged in any court.
So option D will be the answer.
