UPSC Previous Year Questions: CSP 2021
One cannot place less emphasis on the fact as to how important it is to solve questions asked by UPSC Previously. In fact, UPSC tends to repeat from its own stock, verbatim.
This thread, shall be solely dedicated for posting questions asked in CSP & CAPF.
I shall be posting questions here on a daily basis. Urge you all to answer these in all seriousness. Shoot doubts if you have any, wrt solving any question.
Remember the idea is to solve them, again. Reading questions and solutions is NOT sufficient.
Cheers!

upsc2020,3rd statement refers to such parliamentary committees, boards, councils, commissions etc.that are set up by GoI in various ministries.
@CSE20 I guess you're referring to consultative committees (not to be confused with Parliamentary committees)

@CSE20 but doesn't the question mention Parliamentary Committees and not just simply committees?
@CSE20 but doesn't the question mention Parliamentary Committees and not just simply committees?
The question mentions Parliamentary Committeeset up by the GoI( & not the House or the Presiding Officer) in various ministries (& not inside the House)
Consultative committees are set up by Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs and are attached to various ministries.
This is what I have understood.

Bijoe Emmanuel v. State of Kerala ->Students of the faith of the Jehovah's witness refused to sing the national anthem as it was opposed to their faith. They however stood up while the national anthem was being sung in the assembly. The Court held that right to freedom of speech and expression included the right to remain silent. It also held that mandating singing of the same would be violative of the right under A. 25. "The real test of a true democracy is the ability of even an insignificant minority to find its identity under the Constitution."
S.3 of Prevention of Insults to National Honour Act, 1971 outlaws obstruction of singing of National Anthem, but doesn't compel anyone to sing it. Idea is that it must not be disrespected.

When a court is acting in its judicial capacity, it is not subject to writ jurisdiction. As in, a judge acting in judicial capacity cannot issue an order cannot, in law, pass an order/judgement which violates fundamental rights even though such order/judgement may do so in fact. When a court acts in an administrative capacity, it is amenable to writ jurisdiction under Articles 32 and 226.
