Doubt Clearance Thread: UPSC 2021
"When in doubt, observe and ask questions. When certain, observe at length and ask many more questions."
Created this thread as a one stop solution for all members so that all the doubts wherein any conceptual clarification is required can be solved here.
Laxmikanth unfortunately explicitly states that states cannot legislate on fundamental rights. Gots to be careful.
We must also bear in mind that rights that cast negative injunction on the State (within Article 12) are sole prerogative of the Parliament to legislate for the sake of uniformity of enforcement across the territory (within Article 1) of India. The book might be trying to convey this message.
However, it must be made abundantly clear that unless a state law violates FRs, it cannot be declared void just because it is a legislation concerning FRs! =>Such a state legislation will see light of the day.
We must also appreciate the minds of the makers of the Constitution. Take a look at Article 16. Article 16(3) mentions the word "Parliament" and blah blah. The very next, Article 16(4) uses the word "State" and blah blah.
These words have been carefully weighed up and written. We cannot discount the wisdom inherent in them in a casual manner.
Very true :) thank you for such a detailed answer.
After 3rd Judges case, Transfer of Judges require opinion of collegium of 4 Judges+CJI and their appointment the collegium is of 2Judges+CJI only? Is this right or am I missing something?
Yes, transfer of HC judges is 4+1; while appointment of HC judges is 2+1. Whereas appointment of SC judges is 4+1

Thanks a lot! Did not make sense to me in 1st instance, so asked. Appointment requiring only 2+1 but transfer requiring 4+1. May be the chances of punitive action is more in case of transfers, that's why.

@thepolicydreamer This is what is written in Laxmikanth. I think it's because if there's not more institutional protection against transfers there might come a situation where transfers happen at a whim or punishment etc.
Yes, most probably that would be the reason to put more safegaurds in transfer than even appointment.
Guys, answer is given as A.
I understand principle of remote sensing isnt directly in use in telecommunications, but it definitely has application in Traffic studies right?
Help pliss.
Yes! Remote sensing can be used for traffic studies. Only reason I can think of for A being the answer is that we haven’t used remote sensing for traffic studies in India yet.
@Patootie I don't think remote sensing can be used for traffic studies. Remote sensing is basically when electromagnetic waves are used to detect various features about an area. So this would not help in traffic studies.
CARTOSAT uses remote sensing, no?@mhs11 @dragon_rider
Thanks for your response guys! :)
Yep. Remote sensing simply means getting data ( typically of earth surface)from a distance(typically from satellites) and making ‘sense’ out of it. So all earth observation satellites obviously use remote sensing.
Patootie,
Consider the following actions which the Government can take:
- Devaluing the domestic currency.
- Reduction in the export subsidy.
- Adopting suitable policies which attract greater FDI and more funds from FIIs.
Which of the above action/actions can help in reducing the current account deficit?
(a.) 1 and 2
(b.) 2 and 3
(c.) 3 only
(d.) 1 and 3
@dragon_rider hey! I was leaning towards D as well, for the same reason as stated by you and also that FII and FDI may also have impact on strengthening the rupee thereby decreasing the cost of imports. However, many answer keys had marked 1&2 as the correct option!! Thanks!!
