SECTION 2: LEGAL REASONING

Questions 21-24 follow from the passage given below. Choose the option that is most in

accordance with the given principles.

PRINCIPLE 1: Nothing is an offence which is done in the exercise of the right of private

defence. However, this right extends only to the point at which the threat persists and theaction taken must be in proportion to the threat faced.

PRINCIPLE 2: There is no right of private defence against an act which does not reasonably

cause the apprehension of death or of grievous hurt, if done, or attempted to be done, by a

public servant acting in good faith under colour of his office, though that act, may not be

strictly justifiable by law.

PRINCIPLE 3: The aggressor does not have the right to claim Private defence.

FACTS: On a rather unfortunate day, the area around the Tutorials for the Schools of Law

(TSL) centre at Bangalore saw several nasty incidents of violence. Being the average idle schoolstudent, you decide to poke your nose around for want of something better to do.

You find that a peaceful protest was taking place against the corrupt minister, Reddiuyappa, at

the main road. Police forces arrived with lathis (staffs) to dispel the crowd, though the use of

force was minimal. Hoodaji, seeing Inspector Gadde rushing towards him with his lathi was

unusually frightened; and in his nervousness hit the officer hard to save himself.

Elsewhere; Dada, a known criminal, attempted to sexually assault a certain Ms. Antara at

gunpoint. In the midst of the activity, however, he dropped his gun. The lady caught hold of it

and pointed it at Dada, threatening to shoot if he didnt move away. Dada, realising that he wasthe one in danger now attempted to flee. However, the thoroughly shaken Antara shot at him

nonetheless, injuring him in the arm.

Meanwhile, Jhatka and Chintoo, lovers and residents of a nearby locality, decided to elope.

They hoped to catch the midnight Rajdhani Express to New Delhi, where they would build a

new life for themselves. Jhatkas parents, sadly for them, caught a whiff of their plans. Jhatkasfather reached the Bangalore City railway station and attempted to stop them. He tried to hit

Chintoo in a fit of rage for taking away his daughter; however Chintoo punched him first in

self-defence, stopping him.

You find nothing else of interest for a while. Disappointed, you begin the long walk home, when

you suddenly find a crowd huddled next to the nearest police headquarters. After a little

enquiry, you hear what turns out to be your favourite story of the day. A certain Johns took

what he believed to be a shortcut to his home. Unfortunately for him, he found himself in

defence land. An armed guard began to fire at him with a pistol, seemingly without warning.

Johns, unable to run, threw a nearby lying brick at the guard in his desperation. The brick

struck the guard on the head, killing him instantly.

No, because he was not trying to defend himself22. On the charges of criminal assault and battery brought against Antara, can she claimprotection under private defence?

A. She cannot claim the right for either as the steps used by her were not proportional to thethreat she was underB. She can claim the right to private defence in both as they took place in the heat of themoment and she could not have controlled her impulsesC. She can claim the right to private defence for assault but not battery as there was no graveand immediate threat to her when she shot DadaD. She can claim the right for both as people like Dada deserve nothing better23. On the charges of criminal battery brought against Chintoo, can he claim the right toprivate defence?

A. Yes he can, as Jhatkas father acted unthinkinglyB. No he cannot, as he is clearly in the wrong for trying to elope with Jhatka against the will ofher parents.C. No he cannot, as the aggressor does not have the Right of private defence.D. Yes he can, as he had the reasonable apprehension of injury and he was not the aggressorof the ensuing violence.

24. On the charges of culpable homicide brought against Johns, can he claim the right toprivate defence?A. Yes, because he felt reasonable apprehension of danger to his lifeB. No, because his actions were disproportionate to the threat he facedC. No, because he acted against a public servant performing what he believed was his lawfulduty, against whom no right to private defence existsD. No, because he was clearly the aggressor in this case

SECTION 4: ENGLISH

That Eichmann had at all times done his best to make the Final Solution final was therefore notin dispute. The question was only whether this was indeed proof of his fanaticism, his

boundless hatred of Jews, and whether he had lied to the police and committed perjury in court when he claimed he had always obeyed orders. No other explanation ever occurred to thejudges, who tried so hard to understand the accused, and treated him with a consideration andan authentic, shining humanity such as he had probably never encountered before in his wholelife. That they never did come to understand him may be proof of the "goodness" of the threemen, of their untroubled and slightly old-fashioned faith in the moral foundations of theirprofession. For the sad and very uncomfortable truth of the matter probably was that it was nothis fanaticism but his very conscience that prompted Eichmann to adopt his uncompromisingattitude during the last year of the war, as it had prompted him to move in the oppositedirection for a short time three years before.

Eichmann had opposed some of Himmlers cautious moves. He knew that Himmler's ordersran directly counter to the Fuehrers order. For this, he needed to know no factual details,though such details would have backed him up: as the prosecution underlined in theproceedings before the Supreme Court, when Hitler heard, through Kaltenbrunner, ofnegotiations to exchange Jews for trucks, "Himmler's position in Hitler's eyes was completelyundermined." And only a few weeks before Himmler stopped the extermination at Auschwitz,Hitler, obviously unaware of Himmler's newest moves, had sent an ultimatum Himmler, tellinghim he "expected that the measures against Jews in Budapest would now be taken without anyfurther delay by the Hungarian government." When Himmler's order to stop the evacuation ofHungarian Jews arrived in Budapest, Eichmann, then threatened, according to a telegram from

Veesenmayer, "to seek a new decision from the Fuehrer," and this telegram the judgment found"more damning than a hundred witnesses could be."

Eichmann lost his fight against the "moderate wing,". The first indication of his defeat came inJanuary, 1945, when Obersturmbannfhrer Kurt Becher was promoted to Standartenfhrer,the very rank Eichmann had been dreaming about all during the war. (His story, that no higherrank was open to him in his outfit, was a half-truth; he could have been made chief ofDepartment IV-B, instead of occupying the desk of IV-B-4, and would then have beenautomatically promoted. The truth probably was that people like Eichmann, who had risenfrom the ranks, were never permitted to advance beyond a lieutenant colonelcy except at thefront.)

Among the many and complex tendencies observable in modern poetry, or what answers forpoetry in this age, is a decided but unjust scorn of the honest old pastoral, immortalised byTheocritus and Virgil, and revived in our own literature by Spenser.

Nor is this unfavourable attitude confined alone to the formal eclogue whose classicalelements are so well described and exemplified by Mr. Pope. Whenever a versifier adorns hissong with the pleasing and innocent imagery of this type of composition, or borrows its mildand sweet atmosphere, he is forthwith condemned as an irresponsible fossil by every little-witcritic in his ivory tower.

Modern bards, in their endeavour to display with seriousness and minute verisimilitude theinward operations of the human mind and emotions, have come to look down upon the simpledescription of ideal beauty, or the straightforward presentation of pleasing images for no otherpurpose than to delight the fancy. Such themes they deem trivial and artificial, and altogetherunworthy of an art whose design they take to be the analysis and reproduction of Nature in allher moods and aspects.

But in this belief, the writer cannot but hold that our contemporaries are misjudging thetrue province and functions of poesy. It was no starched classicist, but the exceedinglyunconventional Edgar Allan Poe, who roundly denounced the melancholy metaphysicians andmaintained that true poetry has for its first object pleasure, not truth, and indefinitepleasure instead of definite pleasure. Mr. Poe, in another essay, defined poetry as therhythmical creation of beauty, intimating that its concern for the dull or ugly aspects of life isslight indeed. That the American bard and critic was fundamentally just in his deductions,

seems well proved by a comparative survey of those poems of all ages which have lived, andthose which have fallen into deserved obscurity.

The English pastoral, based upon the best models of antiquity, depicts engaging scenes ofArcadian simplicity, which not only transport the imagination through their intrinsic beauty, but recall to the scholarly mind the choicest remembrances of classical Greece and Rome.Though the combination of rural pursuits with polished sentiments and diction is patentlyartificial, the beauty is not a whit less; nor do the conventional names, phrases, and imagesdetract in the least from the quaint agreeableness of the whole. The magic of this sort of verse isto any unprejudiced mind irresistible, and is capable of evoking a more deliciously placid andrefreshing train of pictures in the imagination, than may be obtained from any more realistic

species of composition. Every untainted fancy begets ideal visions of which the pastoral forms alegitimate and artistically necessary reflection.


32/44


It is not impossible that the intellectual upheaval attendant upon the present conflict willbring about a general simplification and rectification of taste, and an appreciation of the valueof pure imaginary beauty in a world so full of actual misery, which may combine to restore thedespised pastoral to its proper station.

121.The use of the word pastoral in the above passage most closely meansA. Relating to a pastorB. A work of literature that praises GodC. Folk songs of shepherdsD. A work of literature that depicts the rural life

The fact that most of the literati prefer white homesD. The fact that literary critics are out of touch with reality

124.The authors contention that the American bard and critic was fundamentally just in hisdeductions would be most weakened if it was found that:

A. Pastorals are often are not given due recognition till long after the period of their creationB. Pastorals are unpopular when it comes to their inclusion as course material for schools.C.
