i. Constitutional law
ii. The General Clauses Act,1897
iii. The Evidence Act, 1872.
N.B. point to be noted that only in Evidence Act, 1872 there are 50 marks. In addition, in the rest
of the subjects there are 50 marks. Therefore, we will take preparation first for the Evidence Act
and then for the rest in the time of written exam. However, in the preliminary exam (especially in
the 11
th
BJS exam) the number of the question from Evidence Act was very few i.e. 1 or 2.
Nevertheless, in the upcoming exam, there may be (not sure) a reverse situation of this. For
Constitutional Law we should read only the previous questions. This is more than enough for the
written exam. However, for the preliminary exam we will go through the whole constitution.
Interesting thing is that- in the preliminary exam the question from the constitution will be asked
from that portion which you will think that these are not important. However, in the exam hall
you will be proved wrong. Therefore, we should take a solid preparation from the constitution.
Because, in the VIVA this will help us a lot. Surely, you will be asked question from the
constitution in VIVA also. In the previous syllabus of the BJS exam Interpretation of Statutes
was also included with the General Clauses Act, 1897. Now only the General Clauses Act, 1897
is included. However, question may be asked only from the Interpretation of Statute part making
that question as a compulsory one. (Please check the 11
th
BJS exam written question of this part).
In the 10
th
BJS written exam there was given no option of question from the General Clauses
Act, 1897 i.e. the question from the General Clauses Act, 1897 was made compulsory.
Therefore, we should be very careful while taking our preparation from the Interpretation of
Statute and the General Clauses Act, 1897. However, the Interpretation of Statute is not included
in the syllabus, but we have to know the basic of that also. Nevertheless, in the 12
th
BJS written
exam the General Clauses Act, 1897 may be getting preference. (It is my opinion only)
➢ Land law, Contract, Registration, Transfer of Property and others laws
i. The Transfer of Property Act, 1882
ii. The Contract Act, 1872
iii. The State Acquisition and Tenancy Act, 1950
iv. The Non-Agricultural Tenancy Act, 1949
v. The Registration Act, 1908
vi. The Small Cause Courts Act, 1887
N.B. I do not mention the name of last law (Bari Vara Ain). We can take this risk for
preliminary, written and VIVA in terms of Bari Vara Ain. It is a safe risk taking. However, for
the above-mentioned laws of this part i.e. Land law, Contract, Registration, Transfer of
Property and others laws, we should take the best preparation. This part is very very
important for Preliminary, Written and VIVA. Surely, you will be asked questions from this
part in the VIVA. I want to share my experience in this regard of my VIVA. In my VIVA Voice-
