Question

State two reasons why historians refute the claim that the British introduced the rule of law in India.

Answer 1

Hint:
The rule of law is a clause of the Indian Constitution that specifies that all persons are equal before the law in independent India. For any person of the world, each law is equal. Neither the chairman nor any other senior officer is above the rules. For any person regardless of authority or post, the penalty for every crime committed would be the same.
For instance, if a clerk is punished for corruption, a higher official or minister must be given the same penalty for committing the crime of corruption.

Complete answer:
The writ was developed by the Anglo – Saxon monarchy and it mainly consisted of a brief administrative order and was issued by the king’s chancellor. Over time the concept of using writs changed and developed.
In India there are five types of writs namely, writ of habeas corpus, writ of mandamus, writ of certiorari, writ of prohibition & writ of quo – warranto.
Now,
Prohibition – A writ of prohibition is issued primarily to prevent an inferior court or tribunal from exceeding its jurisdiction in cases pending before it or acting contrary to the rules of natural justice.
Quo warranto – The writ of quo warranto is issued against a person holding a public office or governmental privilege by asking them by what authority they are holding that power.
Certiorari - The Writ of Certiorari is issued by a Supreme or high court to some inferior court or tribunal to transfer the matter to it or to some other superior authority for proper consideration.
Mandamus - The term mandamus means “We Command”. This is issued by the court to the inferior court, public body, corporation, tribunal and also government. The writ is used to ask them to perform their duties which they have refused to perform.

Therefore the answer is 2.

Note:
In the early 1990s, domestic violence against women was very widespread in India.
Recently, the 2005 Protection of Women against Domestic Abuse Act was passed with the intention of protecting women from any form of physical or verbal assault. By disclosing several incidents of domestic harassment on numerous forums, several women's organisations mobilised to make this possible.
In India, under British rule, the rules were different for Europeans and Indians. For the atrocities committed against Indians, the British were also not punished.
