Statement–Assumption — “There should be no screening of the film ‘Kohram’ until further decision.” — High Court order Assumptions: I) People abide by High Court decisions. II) ‘Kohram’ is an objectionable movie. Choose the implicit assumption(s).

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Only assumption I is implicit.

Explanation:

Introduction / Context:A stay order presumes compliance by stakeholders. Whether the content is ultimately objectionable is precisely what the court may be examining; it need not be assumed in advance.

Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Courts rely on enforceability and compliance for interim orders to be effective.
  • Content merits are sub judice; the order is precautionary.

Concept / Approach:The minimal assumption for efficacy is I (compliance). II would prejudge the case and is unnecessary to justify a temporary halt “until further decision.”

Step-by-Step Solution:

1) Identify purpose of interim order: maintain status quo for review.2) I is necessary; II is not.

Verification / Alternative check:Interim judicial restraints are standard pending adjudication without implying guilt or objectionability.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:“Only II/Both/Neither” misread judicial prudence.

Common Pitfalls:Equating a stay with a final condemnation.

Final Answer:Only assumption I is implicit.
