Show Solution

The Correct Option is D

Approach Solution - 1

This question checks who authored "Anita Gets Bail," a book about delays in India's court system.

  1. Amitav Ghosh: A well known novelist, but his work is fiction, not court commentary.
  2. Kiran Bedi: Known for her policing career and prison reform writing, not this book.
  3. Indira Jaising: A prominent human rights lawyer, but not connected to this particular title.
  4. Arun Shourie: Wrote "Anita Gets Bail" to highlight how long court delays hurt ordinary people seeking justice, drawing on his experience analysing Indian public institutions.

Since Arun Shourie is the author behind this critique of court delays, the correct answer is Arun Shourie.

Approach Solution -2

A quick way through this question is to sort each name by the professional identity most associated with them, then see which one lines up with authoring a book critiquing court delays.

  1. Amitav Ghosh: Primarily identified as a novelist, with a body of fictional work unrelated to legal or judicial subject matter.
  2. Kiran Bedi: Primarily identified as a police-officer-turned-administrator, whose writing centres on policing and prison reform, not court procedure.
  3. Indira Jaising: Primarily identified as a litigating lawyer and rights activist, known for casework rather than authoring institutional critique.
  4. Arun Shourie: Primarily identified as a journalist-author who built a career writing detailed critiques of Indian institutions, making him the natural match for a book examining why the courts move so slowly for ordinary people.

Since only Shourie's professional identity matches the kind of institutional critique this book represents, he is the author in question.

Therefore, the correct answer is Arun Shourie.
