Question

Match the LIST-I with LIST-II

LIST-I (Laws)	LIST-II (Cases)
A. Right to Information	I. Radia Tapes
B. Violation of Article 19(1)(a)	II. Praveen Togadia
C. Right to Privacy - A Fundamental Right	III. Aruna Roy
D. Sedition	IV. Bennett Coleman vs Union of India

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. A-I, B-II, C-III, D-IV
• B. A-IV, B-II, C-III, D-I
• C. A-I, B-II, C-IV, D-III
• D. A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II

Hint:

Aruna Roy goes with RTI, and Bennett Coleman is a press freedom case under Article 19(1)(a). Use these to remove options.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Understanding the question
This is a matching question on media law. We must link each law or legal issue in LIST-I with the case or person in LIST-II that is best known for it. If even one pair is wrong, the whole option is wrong.
So the best method is to fix the pairs we are sure about, and then use them to remove options.

Step 2: Match A, Right to Information
The Right to Information movement in India grew out of the work of the grassroots group MKSS and its leader Aruna Roy. Her campaign for transparency in village records led to the RTI Act, 2005. So A matches III.

Step 3: Match B, Violation of Article 19(1)(a)
Article 19(1)(a) protects freedom of speech and expression, which includes freedom of the press. In Bennett Coleman and Co. vs Union of India (1972-73), the Supreme Court struck down newsprint controls because they restricted the press. So B matches IV.

Step 4: Match C, Right to Privacy as a Fundamental Right
The leak of the Radia Tapes (recorded phone talks) led to a privacy petition in the Supreme Court. This petition was one of the reasons the privacy debate reached the courts, and it is linked with the privacy right later declared fundamental. So C matches I.

Step 5: Match D, Sedition
Sedition is a criminal charge for speech or acts against the State. Praveen Togadia, a public figure, was linked with a sedition case in this list. So D matches II.

Step 6: Check option (1)
Option 1 gives A-I, which is wrong, because A belongs to III. So option 1 is FALSE.

Step 7: Check option (2)
Option 2 gives A-IV. But IV (Bennett Coleman) is about press freedom, not the Right to Information. So option 2 is FALSE.

Step 8: Check option (3)
Option 3 again gives A-I, which is wrong. It also gives C-IV, which is wrong. So option 3 is FALSE.

Step 9: Check option (4)
Option 4 gives A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II. All four pairs agree with our matches. So option 4 is TRUE.

Final Answer:
All four pairs are A-III, B-IV, C-I and D-II, which is option (4). \[ \boxed{\text{Option (4): A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II}} \]
