Q1) D
Key Features of the Bill:
The bill provides for the extension of reservations for the SC and ST for
the next years (i.e. till 2030) in Lok Sabha and state legislatures. This
bill does this by amending the Article 334.
But the bill does not provide for the nomination of Anglo-Indians
in legislatures. This means that nomination of Anglo-Indians will
effectively end by Jan 25, 2020.
The reason given by the government for this is the very minimal
strength of Anglo-Indian citizens in India (only 296 members).
2) D
The Court clarifying its stance on Promotions and creamy layer in
Jarnail Singh vs Lachhmi Narain Gupta case (2018) refused to
refer the above issue to a larger bench.
However, it invalidated the requirement of collecting quantifiable data
by states on the backwardness of SCs and STs while granting quota in
promotions as laid down by the Court in Nagaraj verdict, but states
need to back it with appropriate data showing the inadequate
representation of SCs & STs in the cadre.
On the creamy layer principle for excluding the well-off amongst the SC/
ST communities from availing the benefit, the Court followed the
Nagaraj verdict.
The Court held that socially, educationally, and economically advanced
cream of Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes communities must be
excluded from the benefits of reservation in government services in
order to transfer quota benefits to the weakest of the weaker
individuals and not be snatched away by members of the same class
who were in the “top creamy layer”.
The Court also observed that it will not be possible to uplift the weaker
sections if only the creamy layer within that class bags all the coveted
jobs in the public sector and perpetuate themselves, leaving the rest of
the class as backward as they were.
Q3) D
There are two types of reservations, which may, for the sake of
convenience, be referred to as 'vertical reservations’ and 'horizontal
reservations’.
The reservations in favour of Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and
Other Backward Classes [(under Article 16(4)] may be called vertical
reservations whereas reservations in favour of physically
handicapped (under clause (1) of Article 16] can be referred to as
horizontal reservations. Horizontal reservations cut across the
vertical reservations - what is called interlocking reservations.
4) C
The commission is a quasi-judicial body which gives opinions to
statutory authorities, but these are not binding in nature.
The Chairperson and other Members shall be whole-time Members
The Competition Commission is India’s competition regulator, and an

antitrust watchdog for smaller organizations that are unable to defend
themselves against large corporations.
CCI has the authority to notify organizations that sell to India if

it feels they may be negatively influencing competition in
India’s domestic market.
The Competition Act guarantees that no enterprise abuses their

'dominant position' in a market through the control of supply,
manipulating purchase prices, or adopting practices that deny market
access to other competing firms. A foreign company seeking entry into
India through an acquisition or merger will have to abide by the
country’s competition laws.
Assets and turnover above a certain monetary value will bring
the group under the purview of the Competition Commission of
India (CCI).
5) D
2018 amendments to the act:
Giving bribe is a specific and a direct offence.
Those convicted of taking bribes can be imprisoned for three to seven
years besides being fined.
Bribe-givers have also been included in the legislation for the first time
and they can be punished with imprisonment for up to seven years, a
fine or both.
It makes a provision for providing protection to
‘coerced’ (forced to pay a bribe) bribe-givers if the matter is
reported to the concerned law enforcement agencies within a
week.
It redefines criminal misconduct and will now only cover

misappropriation of property and possession of disproportionate assets.
It proposes a ‘shield’ for government servants, including those

retired, from prosecution by making it mandatory for
investigating agencies such as the Central Bureau of
Investigation to take prior approval from a competent authority
before conducting an enquiry against them.
However, it states that such permissions shall not be necessary for

cases involving the arrest of a person on the spot on the charge of
accepting or attempting to accept any undue advantage for himself or
for any other person.
The trial in cases pertaining to the exchange of bribes and

corruption should be completed within two years. Further, even
after reasoned delays, the trial cannot exceed four years.
It covers bribe-giving commercial organisations to be liable for

punishment or prosecution. However, charitable institutions have been
left out of its ambit.
It provides powers and procedures for the attachment and forfeiture of
a corruption-accused public servant’s property.
6) A
