Key Points
- Let's match each word/expression/specialised term from List I with its correct meaning from List II.
- A. Ex gratia: This Latin phrase means "by favour" or "as a gift," indicating something done or given voluntarily and out of goodwill, not because it is legally required.
- Matches with: 2. Something that is done for free
- B. Suo moto: This Latin phrase means "on its own motion." In legal contexts, it refers to an action taken by a court or other authority on its own initiative, without a formal request from an external party.
- Matches with: 3. On his own motion
- C. Arraignment: This is a formal reading of a criminal complaint in the presence of the defendant to inform them of the charges against them and to obtain their plea.
- Matches with: 4. To state the charges in a court of law
- D. Locus standi: This Latin term means "place to stand." In law, it refers to the right or capacity of a party to bring a legal action or to appear in court.
- Matches with: 1. The right or capacity to bring an action
Based on the matches:
- A - 2
- B - 3
- C - 4
- D - 1
Hence, the correct answer is option 2.
