Directions for Questions 31 to 36: Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow:
The continuing failure of the Myanmar government to act decisively and urgently to protect civilians
from the raging crossfire between the security forces and insurgents is shocking. The recent clashes in
the western State of Rakhine have claimed over 70 lives and forced thousands of Rohingya to flee across
the border into Bangladesh, in a rapidly deteriorating humanitarian crisis. Most of the victims are
women and children, according to the UN’s International Organisation for Migration, which has called
for additional aid to cope with Dhaka’s refugee situation. The latest flare–up began last Friday when
militants suspected to be from the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army attacked military and police
outposts. That should have served as a caution against an excessive counter–insurgency operation, a
real possibility given the history of systematic persecution of the Muslim minorities in Rakhine. The
military crackdown that followed has been widely condemned as disproportionate and the government
accused of being an onlooker. The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights has even rebuked Aung San
Suu Kyi’s office for what he described as irresponsible statements that could disrupt aid and relief
activity. Ms. Suu Kyi is not just the foreign minister; as a Nobel peace prize winner she has also failed to
exert any moral pressure to secure humane treatment and humanitarian assistance for the
systematically persecuted Rohingya. She has rightly come under criticism for her continued silence over
the army brutalities.
In fact, the UN agency’s report in February, based on a study of the military crackdown, had described
the slaughter of thousands and displacement of even larger numbers as crimes against humanity. But
the reactions of the radical Buddhist nationalists, who have traditionally resisted recognition of the
Rohingya as citizens of Myanmar, have been predictable. They have demanded even tougher action
from the government in the wake of the terror unleashed over the past week, and rubbished the
findings of the officially appointed Advisory Commission on Rakhine State, headed by former UN

Secretary General Kofi Annan. The Myanmar government has an obligation to act on the
recommendations of the Commission, on the guarantee of citizenship rights to the Rohingya, freedom
of movement and enforcement of the rule of law. It is inconceivable that the country’s yearning for
peace and normal life could be fulfilled in the absence of these minimum prerequisites. The ruling
National League for Democracy, which takes legitimate pride in its heroic defiance of the military junta,
has a largely unfinished agenda on democratic transition. Enormous powers are vested in the military.
The further consolidation of the hard–won freedoms from dictatorship will remain an arduous task so
long as a large minority of the population is systematically excluded from the political process.

In India, the right to vote is provided by the Constitution and the Representation of People’s Act, 1951,
subject to certain disqualifications. Article 326 of the Constitution guarantees the right to vote to every
citizen above the age of 18. Section 62 of the Representation of Peoples Act (RoPA), 1951 states that
every person who is in the electoral roll of that constituency will be entitled to vote. Thus, the
Constitution and the RoPA make it clear that every individual above the age of 18, whose name is in the
electoral rolls, and does not attract any of the disqualifications under the Act, may cast their vote. This is
a non–discriminatory, voluntary system of voting.

“Such “law creating” (“legislative”) activity is not reflection of judicial imperialism. It is an indication of
the uncertainty inherent in law itself. Law is not mathematics. Law is a normative system. So long as we
cannot predict the future, so long as language does not enable generalisations that extend to all
relevant situations, so long as we cannot overcome human limitation, we will have to live with
uncertainty in law…” However, “… society cannot attain the rule of law without measure of discretion.
Law without discretion ultimately yields arbitrariness.” “Instead of forcibly applying the law to a case
which may not have been foreseen by it, discretion, guided by principles, must be granted to judges.”
