Question 179

Statement : Should the prestigious people be met with special treatment by law who have
committed crime unknowingly?
Arguments
I. Yes, because the prestigious people do not commit crime intentionally.
II. No, it is our policy that everybody is equal before the law.

Solution

The Constitution of India has laid down the doctrine of 'equality before the law'. So, argument II holds strong. Also, we cannot judge the intentions of a person behind committing a crime, So, argument I is vague.

Thus, only argument II is strong.

=> Ans - (B)
