Legal Studies: CUET Mock Test - 10 - Question 3

Ordinarily, passive concealment or mere silence is no fraud, but it may become deceptive in certain cases. In which of the following cases does it amount to fraud?

Detailed Solution for Legal Studies: CUET Mock Test - 10 - Question 3

Explanation to Section 17 of the Indian Contract Act clearly states that mere silence as to facts likely to affect the willingness of a person to enter into a contract is not fraud, unless the circumstances of the case are such that, regard being had to them, it is the duty of the person keeping silence to speak, or unless his silence, is, in itself, equivalent to speech.
Thus, option 3 is the answer.

Legal Studies: CUET Mock Test - 10 - Question 4

Which of the following best depicts Nudum Pactum?

Detailed Solution for Legal Studies: CUET Mock Test - 10 - Question 4

Consideration is a benefit to each party that has entered into a contract. A nudum pactum may be in verbal or written form. These agreements have no legal action, since they are naked contracts, i.e. without consideration. This means that the agreements do not fall within the specific categories of agreements that can provoke legal action. However, an agreement may create a modification of or exception to an obligation already in effect.

Legal Studies: CUET Mock Test - 10 - Question 5

Directions: The question consists of two statements, one labelled as Principle and the other as Facts. You are to examine the Principle and apply it to the given Facts carefully, and select the best option.

Principle: A contract entered into by the use of misrepresentation is voidable at the option of the other party.
Facts: Robert, with an intention to deceive Daniel falsely, stated that his car gives a mileage of 20 km/hr. In reality, the car gives only a mileage of 10 km/hr. Daniel gets induced and agrees to buy the car.
Q. Is it a valid contract?

Detailed Solution for Legal Studies: CUET Mock Test - 10 - Question 5

In the given situation, Robert has misrepresented the mileage of the car to induce Daniel into buying the car. Thus, the contract is voidable at the option of Daniel due to misrepresentation of Robert. Section 18 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872 deals with this situation. The valid contracts are all those contracts when all parties agree to the agreement (after an offer has been made by one party and accepted by the other). Something of value must be exchanged, such as cash, services or goods (or a promise to exchange such an item) for something else of value.

Legal Studies: CUET Mock Test - 10 - Question 6

A person aged 17 years and 11 months made an agreement to take a loan from some other person and promises to bind himself on attaining the age of 18 years. The contract is:

Detailed Solution for Legal Studies: CUET Mock Test - 10 - Question 6

The agreement with a minor during his period of minority is void ab initio. Also, a promise by a minor to bind himself, on a contract entered during his minority, on attaining majority does not hold good as a minor's agreement cannot be ratified by him on attaining majority.
Therefore, a person aged 17 years and 11 months who made an agreement to take a loan from some other person and promises to bind himself on attaining the age of 18 years is void ab initio.
Hence, option 3 is correct.

Legal Studies: CUET Mock Test - 10 - Question 7

Directions: The question consists of two statements, one labelled as Principle and the other as Facts. You are to examine the Principle and apply it to the given Facts carefully, and select the best option.

Principle: Any contract made for an unlawful consideration is void in law.
Facts: Tarun contracts with Sohan to kidnap a child from their locality for ransom money of Rs. 1 crores. Tarun agrees to pay the entire amount to Sohan in return of the kidnapping of child.

Q. Is it a valid contract?

Detailed Solution for Legal Studies: CUET Mock Test - 10 - Question 7

In the present case, the contract is void as the consideration of the same i.e. kidnapping of child is unlawful. No obligations arise out of a void contract. Section 24 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872 states that a contract, whose object or consideration is unlawful, is void. The valid contracts are all those contracts when all parties must be in agreement (after an offer has been made by one party and accepted by the other). Something of value must be exchanged - such as cash, services or goods (or a promise to exchange such an item) - for something else of value.

Legal Studies: CUET Mock Test - 10 - Question 8

Legal Studies: CUET Mock Test - 10 - Question 11

Directions: Read the following information carefully and choose the best conclusion from the options.

Article 21 lays down that no person shall be deprived of his life or personal liberty except according to the procedure established by law. The procedure required by Article 21 is to be fulfilled before a person is deprived of his life and personal liberty.

Detailed Solution for Legal Studies: CUET Mock Test - 10 - Question 11

Meaning of procedure established by law grew slowly by Supreme Court, specially in the interpretation of Article 21. With the observation of Maneka Gandhi v. Union of India 1978, Kartar Singh v. State of Punjab 1994, Jolly George Varghese v. Bank of Cochin 1980, Francis Coralie v. Delhi 1981, etc. cases, now it is established that for the deprivation of a person's life and personal liberty, Article 21 is required to fulfil all the mentioned conditions.

Legal Studies: CUET Mock Test - 10 - Question 12

It was held by the Supreme Court of India that Preamble was not a part of the Constitution in the case of ___________ and this has been overruled in the case of _________

Detailed Solution for Legal Studies: CUET Mock Test - 10 - Question 12

It was held by the Supreme Court of India that Preamble was not a part of the Constitution in the case of Berubari Union and this has been overruled in the case of Kesavananda Bharati. Berubari case overlooked the motion adopted by the Constituent Assembly which stated that the Preamble stands as a part of the Constitution. The error came to be corrected in Kesavananda Bharati case where the majority of the Judges specifically ruled that the Preamble was as much a part of the Constitution as any other provision therein.
So, option 1 is the correct answer.

Legal Studies: CUET Mock Test - 10 - Question 13

Directions: The following question consists of two statements, one labelled as Assertion (A) and the other as Reason (R). You are to examine these two statements carefully and select the correct option accordingly.

Assertion (A): India is a secular country, and there is no official religion in India.
Reason (R): Secularism means separation of religion from politics.

Detailed Solution for Legal Studies: CUET Mock Test - 10 - Question 13

Secularism in India means equal treatment of all religions by the State. According to the Indian Constitution, there is no official religion of India, but it treats all religions equally. There should be equal freedom of religion to all persons, and no one shall be criminalised or favoured based on religion. However, the statement given under (R), i.e. 'Secularism means separation of religion from politics', is the western concept. But, instead of separating religion from politics, the Indian Constitution emphasises more on the equality of religions. Therefore, (R) is wrong.

Legal Studies: CUET Mock Test - 10 - Question 14

Detailed Solution for Legal Studies: CUET Mock Test - 10 - Question 17
