Directions questions 15 to 19: Read the passage carefully and answer the questions based onthe given passage. Choose the most appropriate from the multiple-choice answers.

There are two major systems of criminal procedure in the modern world; the adversarial and theinquisitorial. In the inquisitorial system, the presiding judge is not a passive recipient of information. Rather, the presiding judge is primarily responsible for supervising the gathering of the evidence necessary to resolve the case. He or she actively steers the search for evidenceand questions the witnesses, including the respondent or the defendant. Lawyers play a morepassive role, suggesting routes of inquiry for the presiding judge and following the judge’squestioning with questioning of their own. Attorney questioning is often brief because the judgetries to ask all relevant questions.

The goal of both the adversarial system and the inquisitorial system is to find the truth. But theadversarial system seeks the truth by pitting the parties against each other in the hope thatcompetition will reveal it, whereas the inquisitorial system seeks the truth by questioning thosemost familiar with the events in dispute. The adversarial system places a premium on theindividual rights of the accused, whereas the inquisitorial system places the rights of the accusedsecondary to the search for truth. Both systems were historically preceded by the system of private vengeance in which the victim of a crime fashioned his own remedy and administered itprivately. The modern adversarial system is only one historical step removed from the privatevengeance system and still retains some of its characteristic features. Thus, for example, eventhough the right to initiate legal action against a criminal has now been extended to all membersof society and even though the police department has taken over the pretrial investigativefunctions on behalf of the prosecution, the adversarial system still leaves the defendant toconduct his own pretrial investigation. The trial is still viewed as a duel between two adversaries,refereed by a judge who, at the beginning of the trial has no knowledge of the investigative

background of the case. In the final analysis the adversarial system of criminal proceduresymbolizes and regularizes the punitive combat. By contrast, the inquisitorial system beginshistorically where the adversarial system stopped its development. It is two historical stepsremoved from the system of private vengeance. Therefore, from the standpoint of legalanthropology, it is historically superior to the adversarial system. Under the inquisitorial systemthe public investigator has the duty to investigate not just on behalf of the prosecutor but also onbehalf of the defendant. Because of the inquisitorial system’s thoroughness in conducting itspretrial investigation, it can be concluded that a defendant who is innocent would prefer to betried under the inquisitorial system, whereas a defendant who is guilty would prefer to be triedunder the adversarial system.

defendant.

So much of the literature of the western world, including a large part of its greatest literature, waseither written for actual speaking or in a mode of speech, that we are likely to deform it if we apply

our comparatively recent norm of writing for silent reading.

Directions for questions 121 to 130: Read the following passage carefully and mark the correctanswer from among the multiple choices given below each question under the passage.

Software and intellectual property have come a long way to provide new dimension to themarkets. For a firm to be satisfied with the performance and functionality of an existing productwas to risk losing market share to a competitor that targeted the same market. The nature of competition in the industry has been such that, if there is a perceived market for a particular software product, “someone will build it, and someone else will, as well,” said Harry C. Reinstein,chairman and chief executive officer of the Aion Corp.

While many software firms were aware of what intellectual property protection applied to softwareprimarily trade secret law and copyright law, the actions of most of the firms suggested that legalconcerns rarely entered into product-development decisions. The collective behavior of firmsserved to achieve the constitutional aim on which intellectual property law is based: “to promotethe progress of science and the useful arts.” More specifically, the software industry achieved theintent of intellectual property law, that is, to advance the public good, an objective widelyinterpreted to mean the generation and wide dissemination of ideas and innovations.

Today’s legal ferment indicates that software firms are much more attuned to intellectual propertyissues. And why not? Copyright law and patent law exist to encourage innovation. Both award



limited monopolies to those who invest their resources, effort, and ingenuity in developingproducts that society may deem useful. Thus intellectual property law offers the potential for private financial gain as an incentive for undertaking the risks of innovation.

To Francis D. Fisher, adviser to the Educational Technology Group at the Harvard Law Schoolconcerns that innovation in software will diminish without strong intellectual property protectionseem at odds with the industry’s historically high rate of innovation. “It is not enough to suggestthat the incentives of monopoly are needed,” Fisher maintained. “We need evidence. We need toshift the burden of proof, so that those who believe that the public interest gains from extendingproperty rights to software must prove their case.” Among those who believe this case isunproven is Richard Stallman, whose Free Software Foundation and League for ProgrammingFreedom provide a test of his conviction that innovation is best served absent prices based oncommercial monopoly.

While Fisher may be unconvinced of the need to accord strict intellectual property rights tosoftware, the perception that software is vulnerable to abuses by competitors and users iswidespread. Firms trying to position themselves in the market to earn returns on their investmentoften devote considerable thought to protection strategies.

121. Does Francis D. Fisher consider intellectual property rights important for growth and

development of software?(a) Yes, as software does not require intellectual property.(b) Yes, software growth is possible only through commercial monopoly.(c) Yes, strong intellectual property regime is not a requirement for software innovation.(d) Yes, software patents are required for giving impetus to innovation in this field.

122. What Harry C. Reinstein contemplates about software market?(a) Market of particular software determines the nature of competition.(b) Competition in software development may determine the market.(c) Software development and market has no relationship.(d) None of the above

123. Which one of the following is a correct deduction from the given passage?

(a) Francis D. Fisher and Richard Stallman are of the same opinion as to softwaredevelopment and intellectual property regime.

(b) Views of Harry C. Reinstein and Francis D. Fisher are synonymous with softwaredevelopment and intellectual property regime.

(c) Francis D. Fisher and Richard Stallman are of opposite opinion as to softwaredevelopment and intellectual property regime.

Directions for questions 127 to 131: Read the following passage carefully and answer thequestions given below it.

The average growth rate of the Indian economy over a period of 25 years since 1980-81 (financialyear beginning April) has been about 6.0 per cent, with the growth rate averaging 9.1 per centduring the last two years. The economy has shown considerable resilience during the recentyears, as evidenced by the avoidance of adverse contagion impact of several shocks in theEmerging Market Economies and the ability to cope with oil price increases. The strengthening of

economic activity in the recent years has been supported by persistent increase in domesticinvestment rate from 22.9 per cent of GDP in 2001-02 to 33.8 per cent in 2005-06 coupled withmore efficient use of capital. Domestic saving rate has also improved from 23.5 per cent to 32.4per cent during the same period. While the services sector continues to be the driver of growthwith a share of around 60 per cent in the overall GDP, a noteworthy development during therecent years has been the continued recovery in industrial sector, particularly the manufacturingsector supported by domestic as well export demand.

The financial sector has acquired greater strength, efficiency and stability by the combined effectof competition, regulatory measures, policy environment and motivation among the market



players including banks. The Government securities market is quite deep, liquid and vibrant andwell developed in terms of instruments/processes/participants. The exchange rate of the rupeehas been flexible, particularly, in the last few years and the turnover in the foreign exchangemarket has increased considerably. The stock market has been opened to foreign institutionalinvestors and is comparable with major international equity markets.

However there are certain challenges to be addressed. The poor state of the physicalinfrastructure, both in terms of quantity and quality is considered to be most critical hindrance for India’s progress by many. The most important issue here is regulatory framework and overallinvestment climate, which are being addressed by the Government. Secondly, fiscal consolidationstill remains a matter of concern, especially in the eyes of the rating agencies. The recent budgetof the Central Government brings the consolidation on track. Studies on State finances by theReserve Bank of India give grounds for optimism in regard to their fiscal health. Two importantareas could be recognized which, if addressed would result in fiscal empowerment. One iselimination of subsidies, which are not directly targeted to the poor or inappropriate, and thesecond is elimination of most of the tax exemptions, which are patently distortionary.

Another challenging issue relates to development of agriculture. While over 60 per cent of theworkforce is dependent on agriculture, the GDP growth generated from agriculture is onlymarginally above the rate of growth of the population, which is not adequate to ensure rapid

poverty reduction.

127. A noteworthy development during the recent period has been the:(a) Rapid development of agriculture along with industrial growth.(b) Rapid development of industries along with the services sector.(c) Rapid development of agriculture along with the services sector.(d) Rapid development of services along with agricultural sector.

128. What does fiscal consolidation imply in the above paragraph?(a) Increase in savings.(b) Reduction in unproductive Government expenditure.(c) Reduction in taxes.(d) Reduction in investment.

129. Which one of the following is not an ingredient of financial sector reforms?(a) Exchange rate flexibility.(b) Development of equity market.(c) Development of infrastructure.(d) Development of the Government securities market.

130. According to given paragraph, which one of the following has not contributed to risinggrowth rate in Indian economy?(a) Agricultural sector.(b) Financial sector.(c) Services Sector.(d) Industrial Sector.

131. Which one of the following is not true about the Indian agricultural sector?(a) It provides employment to 60% of the workforce.(b) It has not been highly successful in reducing poverty level in the country.(c) The GDP growth generated from agriculture is less than the rate of growth of

population.(d) The GDP growth generated from agriculture is higher than the rate of growth of

population.
