1. He/She is appointed by the President after consultation with such judges of the Supreme Court and High Courts as he deems necessary.
2. Only the senior most judge of the Supreme Court has always been appointed as the CJI.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?Correct
Answer: A
Explanation:
- Statement 1 is correct: The judges of the Supreme Court are appointed by the President. The Chief Justice is appointed by the President after consultation with such judges of the Supreme Court and high courts as he deems necessary.
Statement 2 is not correct: Justice From 1950 to 1973, the practice has been to appoint the senior most judge of the Supreme Court as the chief justice of India. This established convention was violated in 1973 when A.N. Ray was appointed as the Chief Justice of India by superseding three senior judges. Again in 1977, M.U. Beg was appointed as the chief justice of India by superseding the then senior-most judge. This discretion of the government was curtailed by the Supreme Court in the Second Judges Case (1993), in which the Supreme Court ruled that the seniormost judge of the Supreme Court should alone be appointed to the office of the chief justice of India.

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
1 pointsWith reference to the writ of Habeas Corpus, consider the following statements:
- It is an order issued by the court to a person who has detained another person, to produce
the body of the latter before it.
- It can be issued against both public authorities as well as private individuals.
- It cannot be issued where the proceeding is for contempt of a legislature or a court.
How many of the above statements are correct?
Correct
Answer: C
Explanation:
- Statement 1 is correct: Habeas Corpus is a Latin term which literally means ‘to have the body of’. It is an order issued by the court to a person who has detained another person, to produce the body of the latter before it. The court then examines the cause and legality of detention. It would set the detained person free, if the detention is found to be illegal. Thus, this writ is a bulwark of individual liberty against arbitrary detention.
- Statements 2 and 3 are correct: The writ of habeas corpus can be issued against both public authorities as well as private individuals. The writ, on the other hand, is not issued where the (a) detention is lawful, (b) the proceeding is for contempt of a legislature or a court, (c) detention is by a competent court, and (d) detention is outside the jurisdiction of the court

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
1 pointsWith reference to kala azar disease, consider the following statements:
- It is a Neglected Tropical Disease.
- It is a viral disease caused by the same mosquito that also transmits dengue and Zika viruses.
- India has already achieved the elimination of Kala Azar as a public health problem, with less than 10,000 new cases reported in the last five years.
How many of the above statements are correct?
Correct
Answer: A
Explanation:
- Statement 1 is correct: Along with chagas disease and sleeping sickness, kala azar is one of the most dangerous neglected tropical diseases (NTDs).
- Statement 2 is not correct: Kala-azar is a slow progressing indigenous disease caused by a protozoan parasite of genus Leishmania. It is transmitted by the bite of an infected female sandfly. Chikungunya virus is transmitted by mosquitoes, most commonly Aedes (Stegomyia) aegypti and Aedes (Stegomyia) albopictus, which can also transmit dengue and Zika viruses.
Statement 3 is not correct: India’s National Health Policy (2002) initially set a target of eliminating Kala-azar by 2010, but this was later revised to 2015, 2017, and then 2020. The WHO’s Neglected Tropical Disease roadmap set a goal of eliminating Kala-azar by 2020, but the target was not achieved. The WHO is now accelerating work to achieve the target by 2030. Achieving a low case of Kala-azar to less than one case per 10,000 population at the sub-district (block PHCs) for two straight years puts India on track to earn WHO certification for eliminating Kala-azar as a public health problem.
