Match the legal term in Column I with its meaning in Column II. Column I: (P) Ultra vires (Q) Bona fide (R) Sine die (S) Ex parte Column II: (1) In good faith (2) Beyond the powers (3) Proceeding in the absence of the other party (4) Without a day being fixed

The correct matching is Ultra vires with beyond the powers, Bona fide with in good faith, Sine die with without a day fixed, and Ex parte with a proceeding in the absence of the other party. Any other pairing mixes up these standard Latin legal terms.

  1. AP-2, Q-1, R-4, S-3Correct
  2. BP-2, Q-1, R-3, S-4
  3. CP-1, Q-2, R-4, S-3
  4. DP-4, Q-3, R-2, S-1

Explanation

Ultra vires means beyond the powers; bona fide means in good faith; sine die means adjourned without fixing a day; ex parte means in the absence of or on behalf of one party only. The second option swaps R and S, so it is wrong.
