According to the Vice-President, how many obsolete laws have been repealed in the last twelve years?
- A.More than 700
- B.More than 1,200
- C.More than 1,700
- D.More than 2,500
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is more than 1,700. Speaking at the Law Commission of India conference, the Vice-President pointed to the repeal of over 1,700 obsolete laws in the past twelve years, together with the replacement of three criminal laws inherited from colonial rule, as the major steps taken to modernise the legal framework of the country. He then asked State Law Commissions to carry the same exercise into their own States by identifying dated statutes and recommending their amendment or repeal, so that governance becomes more efficient and ease of living improves. Options A and B, more than 700 and more than 1,200, understate the figure he quoted. Option D, more than 2,500, overstates it. Candidates should pair the figure with the period of twelve years and with the three replaced criminal laws, since the two facts are usually asked together.
