It was a theoretical paper... difficult for those who used guides and market books but easy for those who used source books of contract act, arbitration act etc....
.... in the case of objective , examiner used source books aswell to compile the paper... we can say that it is a balanced paper...

frozen flame-you rightly said that the paper was easy for those who used source books but i do not agree with you when you say it was difficult for those who used market books.Question nos.3,4,5,7 and 8 are covered by any market book. one could attempt these questions simply by reading the book of cheema. nevertheless, can ve match mcqs? answers of my mcqs were as follows:

i----------------a xi-------------------b
ii----------------a xii-------------------b
iii---------------c xiii------------------b
iv---------------c xiv------------------a
v---------------c xv------------------b
vi---------------c xvi------------------a
vii---------------c xvii------------------d
viii--------------c xviii------------------a
ix---------------b xix-------------------a
x---------------c xx-------------------c


frozen flame- did you attempt the question on relations among partners,question no 7?if yes, which points did you cover in answer of this question?

my answers were different for the following mcqs...

7. d 8. d 11. c 12. c 13. d 14. b 15. a

in partners question, i used rights and duties like right to indemnify, right to access to books of accounts, relations with third parties, right to profits according to profit sharing ratios etc... i also used 2 case laws to support the answers.

frozen flame- how ll v decide whose mcqs are right? and dear i cannot understand why you ve discussed duties and rights of partners in attempt of the question no.7 which requires relations among partners,not rights and duties?but u ve discussed rights and duties instead of relations.

have u attempted this question? what u wrote in it? i think rights and duties automatically make relations? isnt it?

yes i attempted it and i focused on agency relations among partners.Agency relations was the major point around which the whole discussion revolved.

And did you attempt the question no.5,"passing of property"?if yes which points did u discuss?this question is an open-ended one.
