Question 1 of 5
1. Question
2 points
Which of the following rights are provided by constitution to ensure a fair trial in courts:
1. No person would be punished for the same offence more than once
2. No one is guilty unless the court has found that person guilty of an offence
3. No law shall declare any action as illegal from a backdate
4. No person shall be asked to give evidence against himself or herself
Select the correct answer from the code below:
Correct
Our Constitution ensures that persons accused of various offences would also get sufficient protection. We often tend to believe that anyone who is charged with some offence is guilty. However, no one is guilty unless the court has found that person guilty of an offence. It is also necessary that a person accused of any crime should get adequate opportunity to defend herself or himself. To ensure a fair trial in courts, the Constitution has provided three rights:
no person would be punished for the same offence more than onceno law shall declare any action as illegal from a backdate, andno person shall be asked to give evidence against himself or herself
Statement 2 is correct in itself and is followed in judicial proceedings but it is not provided in the constitution. Hence, option (b) is the correct answer.

An amendment of the Constitution can be initiated only by the introduction of a bill for the purpose in either House of Parliament and not in the state legislatures. The bill can be introduced either by a minister or by a private member and does not require prior permission of the president. The bill must be passed in each House by a special majority, that is, a majority (that is, more than 50 per cent) of the total membership of the House and a majority of two-thirds of the members of the House present and voting. Each House must pass the bill separately. In case of a disagreement between the two Houses, there is no provision for holding a joint sitting of the two Houses for the purpose of deliberation and passage of the bill.

The Constitution (91st Amendment) Act 2003, provides for which of the following?
1. The total number of ministers in the Central Council of Ministers shall not exceed 15 per cent of the total strength of the Lok Sabha.
2. A MP who is disqualified on the ground of defection shall also be disqualified to be appointed as a minister.
3. The total number of Council of Ministers in a state shall not exceed 15 per cent of the total strength of the Legislative Assembly of that state (including Delhi).
Select the correct answer using the code below
Correct
The 91st Amendment Act of 2003 has made the following provisions to limit the size of Council of Ministers, to debar defectors from holding public offices, and to strengthen the anti-defection law:
1. The total number of ministers, including the Prime Minister, in the Central Council of Ministers shall not exceed 15 per cent of the total strength of the Lok Sabha (Article 75).
2. A member of either House of Parliament belonging to any political party who is disqualified on the ground of defection shall also be disqualified to be appointed as a minister (Article 75).
3. The total number of ministers, including the Chief Minister, in the Council of Ministers in a state shall not exceed 15 per cent of the total strength of the Legislative Assembly of that state. But, the number of ministers, including the Chief Minister, in a state shall not be less than 12 (Article 164).
But this provision does not apply to Delhi. The Constitution lays down that the strength of the Council of Ministers shall not be more than ten percent of the total number of members in the Assembly. Thus there are Seven Ministers in the Delhi Cabinet.
4. A member of either House of a state legislature belonging to any political party who is disqualified on the ground of defection shall also be disqualified to be appointed as a minister (Article 164).
5. A member of either House of Parliament or either House of a State Legislature belonging to any political party who is disqualified on the ground of defection shall also be disqualified to hold any remunerative political post.
