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.
