Question 1 of 4
1. Question
Consider the following statements
1.To be eligible as surrogate She has to be between 25 and 35 years of age, be married with a child of her own.
2.The children born under surrogacy can claim the right to know they were born of surrogacy when they turn 18.
3.If a couple from India utilises the services of a surrogate outside the country, the child born of such an act will not be recognised as an Indian citizen.
Select the correct answer from options given below?Correct
Answer: (D)
Explanation:
Surrogacy is considered altruistic when the surrogate offers to carry the child of the commissioning couple in her womb purely out of love for them and empathy for their need to have a child.
When money is paid to the surrogate for her services, it is taken as an act of commercialisation.
Incidentally, the Indian Council of Medical Research had in 2005 come up with a set of guidelines for the conduct of surrogacy. Later in 2010, the government put more curbs on the Assisted Reproductive Technology (Regulation) Bill.
Who is eligible to be a surrogate?
As required by the law, the surrogate has to be eligible too. She has to be between 25 and 35 years of age; be married with a child of her own. She should also be a first-time surrogate.
Some of the other nuances of the law are:
The Indian marriage act recognises only marriage between heterosexual individuals. Hence, gay couples cannot employ surrogacy to have a child..
If a couple from India utilises the services of a surrogate outside the country, the child born of such an act will not be recognised as an Indian citizen.
The children so born can claim the right to know they were born of surrogacy when they turn 18. They can also exercise their right to trace the identity of the surrogate mother.Incorrect

Question 2 of 4
2. Question
Article 145(3), which deals with the rules of the court, provides for the setting up of a Constitution Bench. Article 145(3) says a minimum of _____________judges need to sit for deciding a case involving a “substantial question of law as to the interpretation of the Constitution”, or for hearing any reference under Article 143, which deals with the power of the President to consult the SC.
Correct
Answer: (B)
Explanation:
What is a Constitution Bench?
The Supreme Court is at the apex of the Indian judicial system. As the guardian of the Constitution, it is the primary duty of the SC to uphold the fundamental rights of citizens and protect their liberties. Whenever a matter of law arises that requires a provision or provision of the Constitution to be interpreted, or there is a “significant legal question”, it is required to be decided by a Bench involving a minimum of five judges of the Supreme Court. Such a Bench is called Constitution Bench. Constitution Benches have decided some of India’s most significant cases over the years:
Maneka Gandhi v. Union of India: In 1977, the Centre impounded Maneka Gandhi’s passport in the “interest of general public”. When the government declined to give reasons for the order, Ms. Gandhi approached the SC. The seven-judge Bench expanded the scope of Article 21 and ruled that “personal liberty” is “of the widest amplitude” covering “a variety of rights which go to constitute the personal liberty of man”.
Justice K.S. Puttaswamy (retd) v. Union of India: Justice K.S Puttaswamy, a retired judge of the Karnataka High Court, filed a writ petition in 2012 in the SC challenging the constitutional validity of the Aadhaar scheme. In 2017, a nine-judge bench recognised the right to privacy as one guaranteed under the Constitution. The Bench ruled that while the right to privacy is intrinsic to an individual’s ability to exercise bodily autonomy, it is still not an “absolute right”. Justice K.S Putraswamy, a retired judge of the Karnataka High Court filed a writ petition in the SC challenging the constitutional validity of the Aadhaar scheme
In re: The Berubari Union and Exchange of Enclaves (1960): The seven-judge bench of the Supreme Court held that the Parliament doesn’t have the power to cede a State’s territory to another country unless it chooses to give effect to the same through an amendment to Article 368.
Kedar Nath Singh v. State of Bihar: In 1962, the five-judge bench upheld the constitutional validity of Section 124A of the Indian Penal Code which penalises sedition. The top court, however, held that Section 124A must be construed to only penalise statements that incite public disorder.
