The Correct Option is B

Approach Solution - 1

This question is about identifying the author of "God Save the Honourable Supreme Court" among four senior Indian legal figures.

  1. Soli Sorabjee: Remembered for his tenure as Attorney General and his stand on free expression, not for this book.
  2. Fali S. Nariman: A veteran constitutional lawyer whose decades of writing on the judiciary include authoring this book on the Supreme Court's role and challenges.
  3. K.K. Venugopal: Known chiefly for his courtroom practice and later role as Attorney General, rather than this publication.
  4. Justice Katju: A retired judge known for public commentary, but not the author of this particular title.

Since this book is part of Fali S. Nariman's writing on the judiciary, the correct answer is Fali S. Nariman.

Approach Solution -2

Since this book specifically critiques how the Supreme Court functions, checking which of these four figures is known for writing in that particular genre, judicial commentary and reform, narrows down the answer.

  1. Soli Sorabjee: His public legacy centres on constitutional advocacy and free expression cases rather than authoring standalone critiques of court functioning.
  2. Fali S. Nariman: Known for a long career of writing and speaking about judicial reform, court delays, and constitutional interpretation, with this book forming part of that broader body of commentary.
  3. K.K. Venugopal: Recognised primarily for his skill as a courtroom advocate and later as Attorney General, not for authoring books analysing the judiciary's workings.
  4. Justice Katju: Known for candid, often controversial remarks about the judiciary made after his retirement from the bench, but not for this particular title.

Since the book's subject matter, a critical look at the Supreme Court's functioning, aligns with Nariman's established writing focus, he is the author being asked about.

Therefore, the correct answer is Fali S. Nariman.

Passage (extract): The work which Gandhiji had taken up was not only regarding the achievement of political freedom but also the establishment of a new social order based on truth and non-violence, unity and peace, equality and universal brotherhood and maximum freedom for all. A new order cannot be established without radically changing the mind and attitude of men towards property and, at some stage or the other, the 'haves' have to yield place to the 'have-nots'. We have seen, in our time, attempts to achieve a kind of egalitarian society and the picture of it after it was achieved. But this was done, by and large, through the use of physical force. It may even be that, like a gas kept confined within containers under great pressure, or water held back by a big dam, once the barrier breaks, the reaction will one day sweep back with a violence equal in extent and intensity to what was used to establish and maintain the outward egalitarian form. This enforced egalitarianism contains, in its bosom, the seed of its own destruction. If egalitarianism is to endure, it has to be based not on the possession of the maximum material goods by a few or by all but on voluntary, enlightened renunciation of those goods which cannot be shared by others or can be enjoyed only at the expense of others.

Passage (extract): The work which Gandhiji had taken up was not only regarding the achievement of political freedom but also the establishment of a new social order based on truth and non-violence, unity and peace, equality and universal brotherhood and maximum freedom for all. This unfinished part of his experiment was perhaps even more difficult to achieve than the achievement of political freedom. In the political struggle, the fight was against a foreign power and all one could do was either join it or wish it success and give it his/her moral support. In establishing a social order on this pattern, there was a strong possibility of a conflict arising between diverse groups and classes of our own people.

According to the passage, which was the unfinished part of Gandhi's experiment?

Passage (extract): In the political struggle, the fight was against a foreign power and all one could do was either join it or wish it success and give it his/her moral support. Experience shows that man values his possessions even more than his life because in the former he sees the means for perpetuation and survival of his descendants even after his body is reduced to ashes. We have seen, in our time, attempts to achieve a kind of egalitarian society and the picture of it after it was achieved. But this was done, by and large, through the use of physical force. This enforced egalitarianism contains, in its bosom, the seed of its own destruction. The root cause of class conflict is possessiveness or the acquisitive instinct.
