Q1:
With reference to the Supreme Court’s proposal for an Independent Regulator for Online Content in India, consider the following statements: 1. The Court observed that a neutral and autonomous regulator is necessary because self-regulation by digital platforms has failed to adequately curb obscene and harmful content. 2. The Court suggested Aadhaar- or PAN-based age verification for accessing adult or obscene content online. 3. Under the current IT Rules, 2021, there is no age-rating or grievance redressal mechanism for digital publishers. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
A: 1 and 2 only
B: 1 and 3 only
C: 2 and 3 only
D: 1, 2, and 3
Answer: A
Explanation:
Statement 1 — Correct
The Supreme Court explicitly stated that self-styled, self-regulatory bodies are ineffective, especially in controlling obscene, defamatory, or hate-filled user-generated content. Hence, it recommended an independent, neutral, autonomous regulator.
Statement 2 — Correct
The Court proposed strong age-verification, including the possibility of using identity-linked tools such as Aadhaar or PAN, to prevent minors from accessing adult or harmful content. It found pop-up disclaimers insufficient.
Statement 3 — Incorrect
The IT Rules, 2021 already provide:
· a three-tier grievance redressal mechanism, and
· a self-classification system for OTT content (U, U/A 7+, U/A 13+, U/A 16+, A).
Hence, it is wrong to say that no such mechanisms exist.
Q2:
With reference to the human brain, consider the following statements: 1. The cerebrum is responsible for higher cognitive functions such as thinking, memory, and voluntary motor control. 2. The cerebellum primarily regulates involuntary functions such as breathing and heartbeat. 3. The brainstem connects the brain to the spinal cord and controls several automatic survival functions. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
A: 1 and 2 only
B: 2 only
C: 1 and 3 only
D: 1, 2, and 3
Answer: C
Explanation:
Statement 1 — Correct
The cerebrum is the largest part of the human brain.
It controls thinking, reasoning, intelligence, memory, voluntary movements, and interpretation of sensory information.
Statement 2 — Incorrect
The cerebellum does not control involuntary functions like breathing or heartbeat.
Its key functions are balance, coordination, motor learning, and fine-tuning of voluntary movements.
Statement 3 — Correct
The brainstem (midbrain, pons, medulla) regulates automatic survival functions such as breathing, heart rate, digestion, and also connects the brain to the spinal cord.
Q3:
With reference to the Law Commission’s recent views on the One Nation, One Election (ONOE) Bills, consider the following statements: 1. The Law Commission stated that synchronising elections does not violate the basic structure of the Constitution, as it affects only the timing of elections and not the voter’s right to representation. 2. According to the Commission, the ONOE constitutional amendment requires mandatory ratification by at least half of the states under Article 368 because it alters federal features. 3. The Commission argues that Articles 83 and 172 allow flexibility in the terms of legislatures, enabling constitutional amendments to adjust electoral schedules. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
A: 1 and 2 only
B: 1 and 3 only
C: 2 and 3 only
D: 1, 2, and 3
Answer: B
Explanation:
Statement 1 — Correct
The Law Commission told the JPC that ONOE does not violate the basic structure.
It affects only the frequency and timing of elections, not the right to vote, representation, or the democratic structure.
Statement 2 — Incorrect
The Commission explicitly argued that state ratification is not required, because the ONOE Bills do not amend provisions listed under Article 368(2)(a)–(e) such as federal distribution of powers or representation in Parliament.
Statement 3 — Correct
The Commission noted that Articles 83 and 172 already allow flexibility —
· early dissolution,
· extension under Emergency,
hence, synchronising terms through constitutional amendment is legally feasible.
