MOCKCLAT – 12(Question Paper)


Section–I: English Usage
S.1–10) Directions for Questions: Read the passage and answer the following questions.

During a late–summer road trip last September, StanzinSaldon and Murtaza Agha unexpectedly

81
showed up at their friend’s house, overlooking Manasbal Lake near Srinagar. They could not contact
him beforehand because they had abandoned their phones to conceal their exact whereabouts.
While Saldon and Agha breakfasted with his parents in the morning, the friend bolted out and ran
around the neighbourhood, retrieving the daily paper from the neighbours’ doorsteps. He did not

00
want people to see the front page, which featured his guests’ faces. That month, Saldon and Agha
were breaking news.
He kept the couple’s secret for a week. Only on their way out the door did they finally reveal to his
family that they were not just on a summer holiday. They were on the run from the Ladakh Buddhist
Association, an organisation whose members were trying furiously to separate them. Two weeks
60
later, they would be married for a second time.

Saldon, who is from a Buddhist family in Leh, and Agha, from a Balti Muslim family in Kargil, were
briefly one of the most recognisable faces of “love jihad,” a rampant and xenophobic conspiracy
theory surrounding the so–called forced conversion of non–Muslim women to Islam. The couple met
11

on a trek in 2010 and started a nonprofit called rZamba—from the Ladakhi word for “bridge”—that
organises youth leadership programmes. Their eventual marriage inadvertently stirred up communal
anxieties in Ladakh, which is mainly split between Muslims, who comprise around 46 percent of the
population, and Buddhists, who make up around 40 percent. But unlike several other interfaith
18

romances that have made the news, their story has a happy ending.

After their week in Manasbal, Saldon and Agha took off, on no specific route, surprising more friends
at their houses and even spending a sleepless night rowing across Dal Lake. They stopped travelling
on 21 September, when they showed up as special guests at their own, second wedding at a hotel in
Kargil, which friends had organised in their absence. Saldon wore a red goncha, a traditional Ladakhi
dress for both Muslims and Buddhists, which she had bought preemptively in Kargil two years prior,
and a silvery veil. The couple was garlanded with necklaces of rupee notes. There were officially
around 40 guests, but over a hundred friends and well–wishers crashed the reception, held later at
Agha’s family home in Dras, a town in the Himalayan foothills. They had a Kashmiri feast of big round
flatbreads and goat curry.

“It was like our honeymoon,”Saldon said, recounting the road trip over lime sodas this March in
Jammu. The couple has been living there since 2011, separately and then together. “Except it all
happened before the wedding!” Then again, Saldon and Agha are not exactly of the kind to do things
the usual way.

“You know, I proposed to him,”Saldon said. “We were on holiday in Himachal and there she got this
realisation…” Agha began. “No, not there!”Saldon interrupted. Even when they talk to others, they
seem to primarily address each other. “I was pinned down in a car crash in Delhi in 2015 and the
only person I wanted to see was Murtaza,” she said. She had just received a marriage proposal from
an eligible Buddhist man in Leh and was considering it, knowing there would be “huge drama” if she

actually tried to marry Agha, who was her boyfriend at the time. She decided to fly back to Jammu
from the hospital to propose to him. “I was shocked,” he told me.

The couple married secretly in July 2016, in Kargil. Agha’s family grudgingly came to terms with the
marriage after he brought Saldon to his house in Jammu, but her family was furious. They forced her
to return to her home in Leh that winter, where she stayed until she got a restraining order against
her family before fleeing back to Jammu. Members of the Ladakh Buddhist Association stormed the
Leh bazaar last fall over Saldon and Agha’s marriage and Muslim and Buddhist men reportedly

81
fought in the streets. In September 2017, the LBA sent a petition to Mehbooba Mufti, Jammu and
Kashmir’s chief minister, demanding that she dissolve the couple’s marriage. They claimed that Agha
had “lured”Saldon into a trap.

00
The notion of love jihad was aggressively promoted by Hindu nationalists. “Now the love jihad
concept is all over India, and even in Ladakh we have a BJP government,” Agha said, referring to the
ruling BharatiyaJanata Party. “We were the right people to blame for this issue in our region at the
right time.” Not willing to risk another separation, the couple went on the run. “We just
drove,”Saldon told me. During the trip, Saldon alternated between ignoring the situation and feeling
60
furious that so many people were speaking on her behalf. A week into their road trip, she wrote a
fierce opinion piece in a Srinagar hotel room, which they sent it to a friend at the Indian Express.

All of this is little __11__ today. On Twitter, I recently colloquially summarisedSita’s criticism of Rama
during the fire test, as narrated by Valmiki. An explosion of anger—predominantly from men—
followed. Many expressed their rage about a __12__ insult to Lord Ram—articulated __13__ a
woman’s voice—by threatening to rape or kill me. In a sick twist of irony, the grotesque language
these men employed displayed the very misogyny that, in their minds, Lord Ram, the ideal man—
maryādāpuruṣottam—could never harbour. When I called attention to these hateful threats, many

critics __14__ me of just playing the victim and refused to themselves describe the attacks as
misogynistic. This was again a patriarchal tactic—the dismissal of gendered threats of violence—
designed to intimate and silence women. Unsurprisingly, most of my critics focused on the perceived
insult to Lord Ram, without much consideration __15__Sita and her point of view. Such is the logic of
modern misogyny that it __16__ female voices in the grand Ramayana tradition remain subordinate

resist any soft–pedalling of it despite our own prejudices.

S.123–125) Directions for Questions: Rules (Tort Law)

I drove from Los Angeles to Las Vegas, and this one…” The judge stopped her and asked, “Your point,
Miss Ambra?”Ambra retorted, “My point is that I am a careful and responsible driver, and now my
best friend and another friend’s parents come suing me, for an accident in which I also got life–
threatening injuries. I want them to prove that I was negligent.”
Is Ambra’s last request valid?

a)Yes
b)Yes, because she has furnished sufficient evidence from her side.

through this ordeal.

to be a witness against himself.
B.Giving of thumb impression or impression of foot or palm or fingers or specimen writings or

Facts:Almi and his friends Raj and Karan are hanging out by the local café. His friend Karan has been

00
ogling at a group of girls sitting in the café for long, but Almi and Raj dismiss his act as funny. Almi
goes to buy some snacks. Meanwhile, when the girls exit the café, Karan passes a very lewd
comment about them. One of the girls, Shriya, files a complaint with the police. The police call the
three friends for identification. Almi refuses to go, saying that he was not even there when the
incident happened. The police, on the other hand, want to be sure because Shriya had mentioned
60
that the accused was gazing at them for a long time, with his two other friends.

Q.129) Can Almi be compelled to present himself for identification?

a)Yes
11

b)No, because he has an alibi.


c)No, because he has a clean record.
d)No, because only Karan is guilty of the act.

Q.130)Almi gets a call from his office. There has been an income tax raid there and his boss, Naufiz,
asks him to hide the annual statements that he had given him the day before, so that the police
cannot get to them, else his job would be in jeopardy. Charges of fraud are framed against Naufiz
and his company, and Almi is called upon to furnish the documents in his possession before the
court. Almi refuses to do so, citing Article 20(3). Is Almi correct?

a)Yes
b)Yes, because he has to prioritize his job over all else.
c)No
d)No, because being compelled to produce documents in one’s possession does not amount to
compelling one “to be a witness against himself.”

Q.131) Assume that the documents sought from Almi had his signatures on them and if produced in
court, there was an 8/10 chance that he would get convicted for fraud as well. In such a scenario,
can Almi take the plea of Artilce 20(3) to not present the documents sought?
