How to use this volume
Solve the paper first, under exam conditions and against the clock. Then read the answers here and mark your own. Reading a solution before attempting the question feels productive and teaches very little, because recognising an answer is not the same as being able to write one.
SECTION I
Q. No. 1: Answer in Two Sentences
Any Six · (12 Marks - 2 marks each)
1.What is Rule of Law?[2]
Answer
The Rule of Law means that the country is governed by law and not by the arbitrary will of any person or office: every act of government must be authorised by law, and everyone, from the highest official to the ordinary citizen, is subject to the same law administered by the same courts.
The classic statement is A. V. Dicey's, in Introduction to the Study of the Law of the Constitution (1885), where it carries three limbs: absence of arbitrary power, equality before the law, and a constitution that is the result of the ordinary law of the land as worked out by the courts.
In India the principle is given effect chiefly by Article 14 (equality before the law and equal protection of the laws), and it is part of the basic structure of the Constitution.
