understanding of fundamental mathematical principles.

(Direction for questions 12 to 16): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday asked the Union government whether it is giving the over 40 lakh people, excluded from the
National Register of Citizens (NRC) in Assam, a “second chance” to gain citizenship by allowing them to produce fresh
documents to prove their Indian legacy.

The court was referring to the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) proposed by the government, which allows a claimant for
Indian citizenship to “change his legacy” by submitting additional documents at the ‘claims and objections’ stage. The court asked
whether this would amount to “re-doing the claims” of those left out from the draft NRC published on July 30.

A Bench of Justices Ranjan Gogoi and Rohinton Nariman on Tuesday said allowing a claimant to change his legacy would
amount to “tinkering with the family tree” and re-doing the verification process.

“You see, a claimant submits documents to prove his legacy from his father. A family tree is drawn, which includes the claimant’s
siblings, etc. The authorities verify his claim with each one of the member in the family tree before deciding his claim [for
citizenship]. Now, your SOP says that a person can submit fresh documents claiming to prove his legacy from his grandfather.
Now, the family tree has to be recreated. Everything has to be re-verified. This amounts to redoing the entire exercise. Why?”,
Justice Gogoi asked Attorney General K.K. Venugopal.

Besides, the Bench pointed out, the government, in the beginning, had specified that documents on legacy would be allowed to be
filed only once. Now, it has changed tack to permit additional documents to be filed. “Are you not contradicting yourself here?”
Justice Gogoi asked Mr. Venugopal.

The court directed Assam State NRC Coordinator Prateek Hajela to file a report on the ramifications of the government's proposal
to submit fresh documents. Mr. Hajela has to file his report before September 5, the next date of hearing.

Meanwhile, the court deferred the receipt of claims and objections to a later date. This stage was supposed to start within the next
days, on August 30, and would have continued till October 28.

“Allowing a person to suddenly pull out an additional document, that too at the 'claims and objections' stage, will upset the apple
cart,” Justice Nariman observed.

Mr. Venugopal countered that the government is giving “another chance to people who risk losing all their rights”.

To this, Justice Nariman agreed that the court was dealing with “human problems of a huge magnitude”.

“Consequences are so severe that should they be given one more chance. Suppose a claimant has misfired once but can deliver in
the next. Why should such a person not be given another chance?” Justice Nariman asked Mr. Hajela, stakeholders and petitioners
in the litigation.

To this, Mr. Hajela said reopening of family trees would risk the possibility of “trading of legacies or meeting of minds”. "Giving
a second chance would only open trading in legacies. There may be people who are willing to sell the legacies to others,” he said.

The Supreme Court further asked Mr. Hajela to submit a report with a time-frame to carry out the sample re-verification of at least
10 per cent of the names included in the final draft NRC. This is after Mr. Hajela placed before the Bench a district-wise data of
the percentage of the population who have been excluded from the final draft NRC.

C. The Supreme Court wants the High Court in the state to take stock of the situation and issue necessary directives.
D. The Supreme Court has vehemently questioned the move by the Government regarding permission to furnish additional
documents.
E. Both A and D

14. Which among the following substantiates the observation of the Supreme Court that the government is contradicting
its own stand in the issue of National Register of Citizens?

C. The government first asked for documents to prove legacy once and for all but it is again asking for the documents in a later
stage in certain cases.
D. The government did not want to financially support the initiative in the beginning but now it is inclined to give money to this
program.
E. The government is not very sure about the objective of the NRC but in the past it made tall claims that it knew everything about
this initiative.

15. Which among the following is a possible consequence of the new standard operating procedure adopted by the
Government regarding the National Register of Citizens?
A. The government will have to shell out more money since it is not having enough staff in place to carry out the census.
B. The government will include many fake people who are not from the state but they will be included in the NRC.
C. The government does not know anything about the profiling of people under the NRC framework but still it is doing so.
D. The citizens who have been left out will try to forge documents and legacies in order to get included in the National Register of
Citizens.
E. The Assam Government will have to carry out the same exercise time and again with double manpower and expenses.

16. Why has the Supreme Court observed that the new move by the government will actually make the government redo
the whole exercise?
A. The government will need to verify all the documents again and then the same will have to uploaded in the database with
correlation to the earlier data.
B. The government will not understand the old data manipulation and there will be new kind of data manipulation in this new
process.
C. The government will have to draw the family tree again and the whole legacy will have to be understood again by the
government.
D. The government will need to check every single citizen in the state so that there is no duplication in the process.
E. The Supreme Court is not sure whether the government will be able to follow the whole exercise completely till the end.
