Question

The number of instances where judges have made unwanted remarks in open courts against other constitutional/ statutory bodies or persons who were not before them is increasing. There is a need to bring such behaviour of judges within the purview of judicial standards.Which of the following is an assumption implicit in the above passage?

Options:

A . There is a set of judicial standards which the judges are expected to follow.

B . Till now no one has set any standards for judges.

C . It is not desirable for the judges to pass such comments on other constitutional/ statutory bodies in their absence.

D . Freedom of expression cannot be exercised while in official capacity.

E . None of these

Answer: Option C

The passage states that the behaviour of the judges such as commenting on other constitutional/ statutory bodies or persons should be brought under judicial standards. This indicates that there are certain standards already existing. Hence, (A) can be inferred from the passage.

Choice (B) contradicts the information given in the passage.The first sentence in the passage states that the number of instances is increasing. This statement does not mention whether it is a good sign or not. The latter statement wants this behaviour to be brought under judicial statements. From this it is clear that the assumption involved is that such behaviour is not desirable. Hence, (C) is the assumption implicit in the passage.The passage is referring to passing particular kind of comments but it is not against every kind of comment. Hence, (D) cannot be concluded.Choice (C) is the assumption.
