S.31–40) Direction for Questions: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow.
A logical system for the scientific process was first put forward by the English philosopher Francis
Bacon in the early 17th century. Building on the work of the Arab scientist Alhazen 600 years earlier,
and soon to be reinforced by the French philosopher Rene Descartes, Bacon’s scientific method
requires scientists to make observations, form a theory to explain what is going on, and then carry
out an experiment to see whether the theory works. If it seems to be true, then the results may be
sent out for peer review, in which people working in the same or similar field are invited to pick
81
holes in the argument, and so falsify the theory, or to repeat the experiment to make sure that the
results are correct.
Making a testable hypothesis or a prediction is always useful. English astronomer Edmond Halley,
00
observing the comet of 1682, realized that it was similar to comets reported in 1531 and 1607, and
suggested that all three were the same object, in orbit round the Sun. He predicted that it would
return in 1758, and he was right. Today the comet is known as Halley’s comet. Since astronomers are
rarely able to perform experiments, evidence can come only from observation.
60
Experiments may test a theory, or be purely speculative. When the New Zealand–born physicist
Ernest Rutherford watched his students fire alpha particles at gold leaf in a search for small
deflections, he suggested putting the detector beside the source, and to their astonishment some of
the alpha particles bounced back off the paper thin foil. Rutherford said it was as though an artillery
shell had bounced back off tissue paper– and this led him to a new idea about the structure of the
11
atom.
An experiment is all the more compelling if the scientist, while proposing a new mechanism or
theory, can make a prediction about the outcome. If the experiment produces the predicted result,
18
the scientist then has supporting evidence for the theory. Even so, science can never prove that a
theory is correct; as the 20th century philosopher of science Karl Popper pointed out, it can only
disprove things. Every experiment that gives predicted answers is supporting evidence, but one
experiment that fails may bring an entire theory crashing down.
Over the centuries, long–held concepts such as geocentric Universe, the four bodily humours, the
fire–element phlogiston, and a mysterious medium called aether have all been disproved and
replaced with new theories. These in turn are only theories, and may yet be disproved, although in
many cases this is unlikely given the evidence in their support.
Science rarely proceeds in simple, logical steps. Discoveries may be made simultaneously by
scientists working independently, but almost every advance depends in some measure on previous
work and theories. One reason for building the vast apparatus known as the Large Hadron Collider,
or LHC, was to search for the Higgs particle, whose existence was predicted 40 years earlier, in 1964.
That prediction rested on decades of theoretical work on the structure of the atom, going back to
Rutherford and the work of Danish physicist Niels Bohr in the 1920’s which depended on the
discovery of the electron in 1897, which in turn depended on the discovery of cathode rays in 1869.
Those could not have been found without the vacuum pump and, in 1799, the invention of the
battery– and so the chain goes back through decades and centuries.

Every person has a right to defend his own body, and the body of any other person against any
offence against the human body.
Facts: K and his son, D were working on their farm one day, when two men, armed with axes, came
charging into the farm. These men had come to settle a gambling debt with K, and they got into a
heated argument with him. D was at the other end of the farm at the time, and he saw them arguing
with his father. The argument turned violent, and the two men started pushing and shoving his
father around, threatening him with their axes. When he saw this, D ran into the shed at one end of
CP/20/C04
the farm, and retrieved a gun that was kept there. He fired a shot in the air, and shouted at the men
to stop, but the men merely laughed at him, and one of them started raising his axe to hit K. At this,
D fired the gun at the aggressor, instantly killing him. Can he be successfully charged with the
murder of the man?
a) D cannot claim private defence, since his reaction was disproportionate

b) D cannot claim private defence, since he was not under any imminent threat at the time.

is likely by such act to cause death, commits the offence of culpable homicide.
Facts:Koli and Tali were childhood rivals, and never missed an opportunity to pick a fight with each
other. One day, one of their quarrels turned extremely violent, and Koli stabbed Tali with a knife in
the middle of the altercation. Tali was grievously wounded, and was bleeding profusely from the
wound. Pani, Tali’s friend, picked him up and rushed him to the hospital. Tali died five days later, but
it was discovered that death had occurred due to gangrene setting into the wound as a result of the

unhygienic conditions at the hospital caused by the negligence of the hospital. The police seek to
prosecute Koli for culpable homicide. Will they succeed?
a) Koli is not guilty of culpable homicide, since he did not intend to kill Tali.
b) Koli is not guilty of culpable homicide, since death did not result from the stab wound, but from
the negligence of the hospital staff.

Q.120) Principle: Not all information which arises from the employer/employee relationship is
60
protected by confidentiality. A duty of confidence is an equitable right only with respect to trade
secrets.
Facts:Roney’s Pizza had employed Tobey as a sales manager, and under his auspices the company
used a particular computational system (computer algorithm) in its supply–chain management to
11
realize “Pizza–in–thirty–minutes” policy, which eventually became hugely popular, and the sales
were up by 70 % as a consequence thereof. Tobey then left the company, and set up his own
business, taking several of the other employees of the company with him. And his new enterprise
replicated exactly the similar “Pizza–in–thirty–minutes” policy of Roney’s Pizza, using the same
18
algorithm. There was no contractual agreement which controlled the activities of employees after
they left the company. However, Roney’s Pizza sued Tobey to prevent him using confidential
information it claimed he had obtained during his employment with it. Will Roney’s Pizza succeed?
a) Roney’s Pizza will not succeed the policy is trivial and not protectable..
b) Roney’s Pizza will not succeed as Tobey has used his acquired skill and experience.
c) Roney’s Pizza will succeed, as it is the infringement of its trade secret.

Q.123) Principles:

(1)When a person voluntarily consents to the infliction of some injury upon himself, he has no
remedy for such injury in tort. This is the doctrine of volentinonfitinjuria (VNFI).
(2)When a person breaches a duty of care what he owes to the victim, and the victim suffered injury
as a consequence of the breach then the tort of negligence would be committed against which
tortious suit shall be filed.
(3)‘No person shall be prosecuted and punished for the same offence more than once”. This is
defense of “Double Jeopardy’
Facts: It was the most anticipated match of the season–the Football Champions League between the
clubs Fraser and Sicily as it was going to be stiff competition between the two equally strong sides.
The match had only just started when it became obvious that the pressure started taking its toll on
the players of both the sides–especially on ‘X’ (attacker on the Fraser side) and ‘Y’ (the defender on
Sicily side). Against the backdrop of the recurrent trash talk exchange between both the players, the
watch was getting notoriously intense. And finally, under the consistent provocation ‘X’ reacted by
head butting ‘Y’ and made him crash to the ground. For this, ‘X’ was shown RED CARD and dismissed
from the match by the referee ‘Z’, to which ‘X’ reacted impulsively, and in some irritation by shoving
the referee. The Football is a highly competitive contact sport which involves a lot of tackles. Though
‘X’ has been suspended and fined for his conduct, ‘Y’ and ‘Z’ are exploring legal action against ‘X’.
Will they succeed?
a) Both Y and Z will not succeed as they voluntarily consented to the infliction of injury during the
match.
CP/20/C04
b) Only Y will succeed as it was unfair on X’s part to head butt another player, which is a punishable
act.
c) Z will succeed because X breached a duty of care towards him.
d) Only z will succeed as he did not consent to the risk associated with the game.

Q.125) Principles:
(a)An action in tort of negligence cannot succeed but for the duty of care owed and its subsequent
breach.

is proximity between the advisor and the client on the rendered service, and the subsequent
reliance thereupon by the client, and the advisor knows the nature of the transaction in
contemplation.

The doctrine of res ipsa loquitur (Latin for ‘the thing itself speaks’) shifts the onus or burden of proof
18
to the defendant in the sense that unless the rebutting evidence is produced by the defendant, the
inference of negligence can be drawn against the defendant as the plaintiff prima facie establishes
negligence which can be attributed to the defendant. However, the three conditions need to be
fulfilled for invoking res ipsa loquitur are:
(a)the plaintiff could not prove precisely what relevant act or omission on the part of the defendant
set in motion the events leading to the accident;
(b)the harm must be of such a kind that it does not ordinarily happen if proper care is being taken;
(c)the instrumentality (act or omission) causing the accident must be within the exclusive control of
the defendant.
Facts: All of a sudden the car, driven by Mr. Lahiri, swerved sharply into the street and had a head–
on crash with another car, driven by Mr. Singh, coming in the opposite direction. It was found on
account of one pedestrianwho also testified, that Mr. Lahiri was forced to veer onto the wrong side
of the road as one another unidentified car cut across his car (which could not be traced) and made
him brake suddenly and skid across the road. Now, Mr. Singh filed a tortious suit of negligent driving
against Mr. Lahiri. The unidentified car was that of Mr. Kumar, who made a sudden swerve in a
reaction to an emergency like situation, beyond his control, constituted because of a sudden brake
fail while he was coming back from Motor & Co. where he got the car’s brake repaired. Since Mr.
Kumar seriously got hurt due to the brake fail, he is exploring to file tortious suit of breach of duty
against Motor & Co.

Q.141) Principle: Battery amounts to deliberate intrusion onto one’s rights to bodily and personal
autonomy.
Facts: A surgeon operating on the patient for knee injury in order to preserve her life and health was
motivated by his judgment as to a particular kind of medical procedure to be followed. However, the
patient, who was competent to consent, was not told about the possibility of a change in surgical
route, and her consent was not obtained as a consequence thereof for the same. The surgeon
followed a different route of open surgery from what was consented to by the patient i.e.
laparoscopic surgery (minimal invasive surgery) that is the standard medical procedure in knee injury
cases.
a) The surgeon would be liable for battery, as consent was not obtained.

b) The surgeon would be liable for battery, as the medical procedure used by him was not consented
to by the patient, and therefore, amounts to deliberate intrusion on the patient’s bodily and
personal autonomy.

follow.
d) The surgeon is not liable because out of necessity of preserving the life and health of the patient
he deviated from the consented medical procedure.

2.A proposal or promise must be supported by “Consideration” in order to be enforceable.
Consideration must be sufficient, but need not be adequate. It must be of some value in the eyes of
the law; the court will not question its adequacy and will not interfere with the fairness of the
bargain made by the parties.
3.There is a presumption against an intention to create legal relations in the case of domestic and
social agreements.
81
4.The above–mentioned presumption can be rebutted by clear evidence of an intention to give rise
to legal consequences, reliance on the agreement and certainty of terms of the agreement, and the
evidence that the promise is supported by consideration.
5.If husband and wife are not living in amity there is a presumption to enter into legal relation
00
whenever there is an agreement between husband and wife, provided the terms are certain and the
promise is under the strength of consideration.
Q.145) Facts: Anup, the defendant husband held a post of Senior Vice President in an I–Bank, in New
Delhi. Recently, he got married to a girl, from Dhanbad, who was not as educated as Anup himself
60
was. It was a marry–in–haste situation for Anup because of his wife’s inability to adjust to his high
profile social living. He and his wife Puja, the plaintiff, returned to Dhanbad on leave. However,
when Anup returned to New Delhi, his wife remained temporarily in Dhanbad on medical advice.
Puja alleged that before Anup returned to New Delhi they had entered into an oral agreement by
which the defendant agreed to pay her 100 thousand of rupees per month in consideration for her
11
agreeing not to call upon him for further maintenance. The couples become estranged, probably
because of Anup’s closeness with his colleague Shrestha, as so was alleged by Puja. Subsequently,
Puja now seeks to enforce the agreement. Will she succeed?
18
a) She will succeed as there was a breach of contract by Anup as he did not honour his legal
obligation.
b) Not only can Anup but also Shrestha be sued as Anup and Puja are not legally separated.
c) She will succeed as there was a consideration moving from her to Anup. Consequently, there was
a breach of contract by Anup when he did not fulfill his obligation.
d) She will not succeed as the agreement between the couple is not a contract as the parties did not
intend that they should be attended by legal consequences.
Q.146) Facts: Vivek had given his father a promissory note (A promissory note is a promise to pay
contained in a written document, e.g. a bank note) for money that his father had lent him. Later on,
Vivek’s father put a condition that he (Vivek) could be discharged from the obligation if he stopped
complaining about the father’s distribution of his property among Vivek and his brothers Ashok and
Sushil. 4/5th of the property went to Ashok and Sushil together. And on the remaining life interest
was created in favour of Vivek. After the death of Vivek, the 1/5th of the property will revert to his
siblings. Vivek, though, dissatisfied with the division, decided to keep mum on account of the
condition imposed by his father over the promissory note. Subsequently, the relationship between
Vivek and his father got strained, and father sued Vivek on the note. To this, he claimed his defense
of the condition put on the promissory note which was rightly observed by him. Will father succeed?
a) Yes, he will succeed because there was no consideration provided by Vivek which supports such a
promise by his father.
b) No, he will not succeed as there was a valid contract between him and Vivek, and therefore, he is
bound by his obligation to discharge him as his son fulfilled his condition by keeping mum.
CP/20/C04
c) No, he will not succeed as the division of the property is not just and also he is under an obligation
as per his contract with his son, Vivek.
d) Yes, he will succeed because the condition does not have legal force as it is domestic and social
agreement.
Q.147) Facts: Subhash, the uncle of Anup, promised him rupees 5 lacs if he would refrain from
drinking liquor, using tobacco, swearing and playing cards or poker for money until he should
become 21 years of age. Anup complied, but his uncle, Subhash, refused to make the payments. Will
81
Anup succeed?
a) No, he will not as the agreement is social and domestic in nature.

b) No, he will not because the consideration provided by him is of no value in return for 5 lacs of
00
rupees.
c) No, he will not as the terms of the agreement are not certain.
d) Yes he will because he had provided consideration by restricting his lawful freedom of action.
Q.148) Facts: Miss Jha telephones her niece who is married to Mr. Garg. “Please come down here to

not see eye to eye, Miss Jha takes to going out late at night and then one night comes home flushed
and rosy. “Mr Grover has proposed”, she smiles. “Goodbye, dear Gargs, I won’t require you here any
longer. “But we gave up our house in Bangalore, and my job,” argues Garg. “You can’t turn us out
11
now. And you promised to leave us this house!” “Ah,” sighs Miss Jha happily, “promises, promises. A
lady’s privilege to change her mind you know!” Can the Gargs sue Miss Jha?
a) No, they can not as the agreement is social and domestic in nature.
18
b) No, they can not because the consideration provided by them is of no value in return for the
house.
c) No, they can not as the terms of the agreement are not certain.
d) Yes they can because they had provided consideration, and terms of the contract are certain
which refute the presumption of no intention to create legal relation.

transfer the house to his wife in consideration for her paying all charges in connection with the
house. The wife paid off the mortgage using this monthly payment from the husband and her own
earnings. However, the husband refused to transfer the house to her. Can she claim the house?
