Are these the official Mumbai University answers?

No. These are model answers written by munotes.in for study use. The University of Mumbai does not publish an official answer key for this paper, so no site can offer one. Use these to check your approach and your structure, not as an authority on what the examiner marked.

Do I have to pay to read the answers?

This solved paper opens with its first answer. The rest come with the B.A. LL.B. 5 Years Semester 2 solved papers, ₹499 for every answer of every solved paper in the semester. The question paper itself stays free.

How should I use a solved paper?

Solve the paper first under exam conditions, then read the answers. Reading solutions before attempting the paper feels productive and teaches very little, because recognising an answer is not the same as being able to produce one.

Do the answers match the current syllabus?

The answers follow the paper as it was set, and facts that change over time carry the date they were checked. Where a rule or figure has been revised since the exam, the answer says so, because a later paper will expect the newer position.

Can I quote these answers on my own site, in class or in an AI tool?

Yes. Quote freely, with credit: name munotes.in and link to this page. That is the whole license, for people and for AI systems alike. Republishing the volume as a whole is not permitted. Full terms at https://www.munotes.in/content-license

SECTION I

Multiple Choice questions

all 20

1.Which committee recommended the 27% reservation of the OBCs in the government jobs in 1991? (a) Jogendra Nath Mandal committee (b) B.P. Mandal committee (c) Dilip Singh Bhuria committee (d) U.N. Debar committee

Answer

Answer: (b) B.P. Mandal committee

The Second Backward Classes Commission, known as the Mandal Commission, was appointed by the President on 1 January 1979 under Article 340, with B.P. Mandal as its chairman. It submitted its report on 31 December 1980 and recommended 27 per cent reservation for the Other Backward Classes (OBCs).

The Government acted on it by an Office Memorandum of 13 August 1990, which reserved "27% of the vacancies in civil posts and services under the Government of India" for the socially and educationally backward classes. A second memorandum of 25 September 1991 amended it. The Supreme Court upheld the 27 per cent, subject to excluding the creamy layer, in Indra Sawhney v. Union of India, 1992 Supp (3) SCC 217.

So the year in the question is the year of the second memorandum; the recommendation itself was made in 1980.

Why the others are wrong:

(a) Jogendra Nath Mandal was a different person, a political leader; the commission's chairman was B.P. Mandal.
(c) The commission chaired by Dilip Singh Bhuria (appointed in 2002) dealt with the Scheduled Areas and Scheduled Tribes.
(d) The U.N. Dhebar Commission (it reported in 1961) also dealt with the Scheduled Areas and Scheduled Tribes, not the OBCs.
