Q1:
Which of the following are features of Article 142 of the Indian Constitution? 1. It empowers the Supreme Court to do “complete justice” in any case before it. 2. It allows the Supreme Court to override statutory laws in the interest of justice. 3. It applies to both civil and criminal matters. 4. It grants High Courts the same power in their jurisdiction. How many of the above are correct?
A: Only one
B: Only two
C: Only three
D: All four
Answer: C
Explanation:
Statements 1, 2, and 3 are correct.
Article 142 is a unique constitutional power given only to the Supreme Court (not High Courts) to ensure “complete justice,” and it applies across legal domains—civil or criminal.
However, High Courts do not enjoy Article 142 powers, although they have similar inherent powers under Section 482 CrPC for criminal matters.
Thus, only three statements are correct.
Q2:
Consider the following statements regarding India’s defence spending as per SIPRI 2024 report: 1. India is the fifth-largest military spender globally. 2. India spends more on capital procurement than on defence pensions and salaries. 3. India’s defence budget constitutes 2.5% of its GDP. 4. India is the second-largest arms importer in the world. How many of the above are correct?
A: Only one
B: Only two
C: Only three
D: All four
Answer: B
Explanation:
Statements 1 and 4 are correct. India ranks fifth globally in defence spending and remains the second-largest arms importer, reflecting its limited indigenous defence production.
Statement 2 is incorrect: Only 22% of the defence budget is allocated to capital procurement, while the majority is spent on salaries and pensions.
Statement 3 is also incorrect: India's defence spending is 1.9% of GDP, not 2.5%.
Thus, only two statements are correct.

A: It is a twin-engine, 5th-generation stealth fighter
B: It is designed specifically for land-based operations only

D: It has no commonality with the Indian Air Force variant
Answer: C

The Rafale M is a naval variant of the Dassault Rafale, capable of short takeoffs and arrested landings on aircraft carriers. It belongs to the 4.5-generation class, not 5th-generation.
It offers interoperability benefits with the IAF variant, including similar avionics, training, and maintenance infrastructure, which improves joint operations and logistics efficiency.

Q5:
Consider the following statements regarding the recent Supreme Court judgment on Sharia courts: 1. Sharia courts are recognized as legitimate judicial bodies within India's legal framework. 2. Decisions made by Sharia courts are not enforceable in a court of law. 3. Sharia courts have the authority to adopt coercive measures to implement their rulings. Which of the above statements are correct?
A: 1 and 2 only
B: 2 only
C: 2 and 3 only
D: 1, 2, and 3
Answer: B
Explanation:
The Supreme Court's ruling clarifies that Sharia courts, while offering guidance to individuals, have no legal standing in India, and their decisions are not enforceable in law. Furthermore, they cannot adopt coercive measures to implement their rulings. Statement 1 is incorrect as Sharia courts do not possess judicial legitimacy under Indian law, and Statement 3 is incorrect as these courts cannot enforce rulings coercively.
