01Code of Civil Procedure, 1908
The Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 is tested through the movement of a suit: institution, pleadings, interim protection, trial, judgment, appeal and execution. Questions reward precise section and Order-Rule recall plus the discipline to distinguish mandatory provisions from discretionary ones.
396 words, about 2 min02Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 / Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023
This domain tests the criminal process from registration of information to bail, trial and appeal. Since 1 July 2024 the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (531 sections) has replaced the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (484 sections), but the older Code still governs pending cases, so both numbering schemes must be known.
413 words, about 2 min03Indian Penal Code, 1860 / Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023
Substantive criminal law questions turn on general exceptions, mens rea, and the precise boundary between offences of similar gravity. The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, with 358 sections in 20 chapters, replaced the Indian Penal Code on 1 July 2024, and the exam expects both the new numbering and the principle behind each offence.
401 words, about 2 min04Indian Evidence Act, 1872 / Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023
Evidence questions test relevance, admissibility, modes of proof, burden of proof and presumptions, with growing weight on electronic records. The Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 (170 sections) replaced the Evidence Act, 1872 (167 sections) on 1 July 2024.
371 words, about 2 min05Transfer of Property Act, 1882 and Easements Act, 1882
Property questions test transfer inter vivos, formalities, protection of bona fide transferees and the incidents of easements. Precision on the section that protects a party is what separates a good answer from an average one.
376 words, about 2 min06Indian Contract Act, 1872 and Specific Relief Act, 1963
Contract questions test formation, free consent, legality, performance and breach; the Specific Relief Act tests when a court will decree performance rather than leave the plaintiff to damages. After the 2018 amendment the balance has shifted decisively towards the plaintiff.
375 words, about 2 min07Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, Hindu Succession Act, 1956 and Personal Law
This domain tests the validity of Hindu marriages, matrimonial reliefs, and the devolution of property, especially the daughter's coparcenary status created in 2005. Answers must respect the difference between void, voidable and valid marriages and between testamentary and intestate succession.
385 words, about 2 min08Registration Act, 1908, Stamp Act and Limitation Act, 1963
This cluster tests formalities that decide admissibility and the time limits that decide maintainability. A single missed distinction, such as between a document that is void and one that is merely inadmissible, changes the result.
406 words, about 2 min09Constitution of India
Constitutional questions test the discipline of Article 14 classification, the width of Article 21, the reach of writ jurisdiction, and the distribution of power between the Union, the States and the judiciary. Precision about which writ lies against whom earns the marks.
362 words, about 2 min10Evidence Appreciation, Pleadings, Drafting, Judgment Writing, Legal Aptitude, Current Legal Developments and Telangana Laws
