    Statement 1 is accurate, as established by the Supreme Court in the M. Nagaraj case (2006), which introduced a threefold test to determine the validity of reservations in promotions:

    1. Demonstration of backwardness,
    2. Insufficient representation, and
    3. Assurance that such reservations do not compromise the efficiency of administration, as stipulated in Article 335.

    Statement 2 is incorrect. While Article 335 references “efficiency of administration,” it does not provide a formal definition for this term. The article states that the claims of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes must be considered while ensuring the maintenance of administrative efficiency during appointments to various services and positions within the Union or state governments. It further allows for provisions that may relax qualifying marks in examinations or lower evaluation standards for promoting reservations in public service roles related to the Union or state affairs.

     

    Conclusion:

    Statement I is correct, but Statement II is incorrect.

    Added an answer about 8 months ago

    Statement 1: "The Chief Wildlife Warden of the State becomes the governing authority of such forest." This is incorrect.

    1. Statement 1: “The Chief Wildlife Warden of the State becomes the governing authority of such forest.”
      • This is incorrect. As per Section 36D of the Wildlife (Protection) Amendment Act 2002, a Community Reserve management committee is formed by the State Government, and this committee, not the Chief Wildlife Warden, is responsible for managing the Community Reserve.
    2. Statement 2: “Hunting is not allowed in such area.”
      • This is correct. As per Section 36C(2) of the Wildlife (Protection) Amendment Act 2002, the restrictions applicable to wildlife sanctuaries, including the ban on hunting, apply to Community Reserves as well.
    3. Statement 3: “People of such area are allowed to collect non-timber forest produce.”
      • This is correct. The local communities are generally allowed to collect non-timber forest produce in Community Reserves, as they are designed to integrate conservation with sustainable use by the local people.
    4. Statement 4: “People of such area are allowed traditional agricultural practices.”
      • This is correct. Traditional agricultural practices are permitted in Community Reserves as long as they do not harm wildlife conservation efforts.

    Conclusion:

    • Statements 2, 3, and 4 are correct.
    • Statement 1 is incorrect.

    Thus, the correct answer is Only three.

    Added an answer about 8 months ago

    Here is the analysis of the three statements: Statement 1: "When the Lok Sabha transmits Finance Bill to the Rajya Sabha, it can amend or reject the Bill." This statement is incorrect because, as per the text, a Finance Bill is a Money Bill, and the Rajya Sabha cannot amend or reject it. The Rajya SRead more

    Here is the analysis of the three statements:

    1. Statement 1: “When the Lok Sabha transmits Finance Bill to the Rajya Sabha, it can amend or reject the Bill.”
      • This statement is incorrect because, as per the text, a Finance Bill is a Money Bill, and the Rajya Sabha cannot amend or reject it. The Rajya Sabha can only recommend changes, which the Lok Sabha may accept or reject.
    2. Statement 2: “When the Lok Sabha transmits Money Bill to the Rajya Sabha, it cannot amend or reject the Bill, it can only make recommendations.”
      • This statement is correct as per the explanation provided. The Rajya Sabha has limited powers over a Money Bill and can only make recommendations.
    3. Statement 3: “In the case of disagreement between the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha, there is no joint sitting for Money Bill, but a joint sitting becomes necessary for Finance Bill.”
      • This statement is incorrect because a Finance Bill is a Money Bill, and there is no provision for a joint sitting for a Money Bill.

    Conclusion:

    • Statement 2 is correct.
    • Statements 1 and 3 are incorrect.

    Thus, the correct answer is Only one.

    Explanation:

    1. If the election of the President of India is declared void by the Supreme Court of India, all acts done by him/her in the performance of duties of his/her office of President before the date of decision become invalid.
      • This statement is incorrect. According to Article 71(2) of the Indian Constitution, if the election of the President is declared void by the Supreme Court, acts performed by him/her before the judgment are not invalidated. They remain valid.
    2. Election for the post of the President of India can be postponed on the ground that some Legislative Assemblies have been dissolved and elections are yet to take place.
      • This statement is incorrect. The election for the President of India cannot be postponed due to the dissolution of some Legislative Assemblies. According to Article 62 of the Constitution, the election for the President must be held before the expiration of the current President’s term.
    3. When a Bill is presented to the President of India, the Constitution prescribes time limits within which he/she has to declare his/her assent.
      • This statement is incorrect. The Constitution does not prescribe any specific time limits within which the President must act on a Bill. The President can take as long as he/she deems necessary.

    Conclusion:

    None of the statements are correct. The correct answer is None.

    The correct answer is Both Statement-I and Statement-II are correct and Statement-II is the correct explanation for Statement-I.

    Explanation:

    • Statement-I is correct because prisons in India are managed by State Governments, and each state has its own rules and regulations for the administration of prisons.
    • Statement-II is also correct because the Prisons Act, 1894, which is a colonial-era law, placed the administration of prisons under the control of Provincial Governments (now State Governments).
    • Since the Prisons Act, 1894, expressly kept prisons under the control of the states, it serves as the correct explanation for Statement-I.

    The correct answer is It defines and limits the powers of government.

    Explanation: The primary purpose of a constitution is to establish the fundamental framework for governance in a country. It defines the structure of the government, delineates the powers and functions of different institutions, and places limits on governmental power to protect individual rights and maintain the rule of law. While it may also outline the objectives for making laws, create political offices, and aim to secure social justice, its chief purpose is to define and limit the powers of government to prevent abuse and ensure the protection of citizens’ rights.
