Consider the statements: (I) Statute law is law enacted by a legislature. (II) Case law, or judicial precedent, is not recognised as a source of law in India. Which is correct?
Only statement I is correct. Statute law is enacted by a legislature, while judicial precedent is a recognised source of law in India, with Supreme Court rulings binding on all courts. Hence the claim that case law is not a source is incorrect.
- ABoth I and II are correct
- BOnly I is correctCorrect
- COnly II is correct
- DNeither I nor II is correct
Explanation
Statute law is made by Parliament or State legislatures, so statement I is correct. Statement II is wrong because judicial precedents are a recognised source of law in India, and Supreme Court decisions are binding on all courts under Article 141 of the Constitution.
