Difficulty: Medium
Correct Answer: Neither I nor II follows
Explanation:
Given data
Concept/Approach (proportionality and due process)
Allegations require verification and investigation. Punitive action without inquiry and halting regulation altogether are both illogical responses to an unverified claim.
Step 1: Assess Action I
Immediate suspension presumes guilt without establishing facts; due process is missing.
Step 2: Assess Action II
Stopping the RBI from issuing directives undermines regulation; the problem alleged is non-compliance, not the existence of directives.
Step 3: Conclusion
Hence, neither action logically follows from a mere allegation; investigation would be the reasonable first step (not offered among options).
Common pitfalls
Confusing allegation with proof; attacking regulation rather than addressing compliance.
Final Answer
Neither I nor II follows.
