Answer of First Question
▶️ So, when the ruling Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) coalition (the Shiv Sena, the Nationalist Congress Party and Congress) lost power after an internal split of the Shiv Sena party, the splintering groups joined BJP to for Government.
▶️So as per the law, If certain people break from the party, then the anti-defection law comes into play. Under the law, whether one person defects or 100 person defects, you are voluntarily giving membership of the party and that may lead to disqualification.
▶️ The Deputy Speaker (there was no Speaker at the time) disqualified the “rebels”, who then appealed in SC, arguing that there was a pending no-confidence motion against the Deputy Speaker.
▶️Because we all know in Nabam Rebia case (2016),SC Held the Deputy Speaker or Speaker cannot decide on the disqualifications while his own removal was pending.
▶️The SC in an “interim” order stayed the Deputy Speaker’s action but also directed a floor test. Accordingly Shindhe group won the floor test and form the government and appoint own speaker.
Answer of second question:
Now the 5 judge bench headed by CJI argued very differently: Mr. Shinde was sworn as Chief Minister and the opportunity given to him to establish majority on the floor of the House on June 30 only came because the Speaker could not disqualify him. For if he had disqualified him, all the 39 rebel MLA would have been disqualified. (Gajab Paltibaji 😁).
A split does not MEAN that people who are party to the split leave the party. The Tenth Schedule (anti-defection law) also operates when a group of persons, whether minority or majority, claim they belong to the same party, MEANS Some of the MLA obviously supports Thackrey, and some to Shindhe so ADL will apply on rebels from erstwhile Shiv sena party.
Answer: The SSE aims to offer an alternative fundraising instrument for social enterprises, enabling them to achieve their objectives of creating a positive social impact while also raising capital. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has highlighted the urgent need for social capital for enterprises and voluntary organizations working for social welfare, the exchange will enable investors to support social causes while also earning returns on their investments.
Who All Are Eligible to List in SSE? Which Companies Can Get Listed in SSE?
Answer:
NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS:
▶️A trust that is registered under the public trust law of the corresponding state and has a charitable purpose.
▶️A society that is registered under the Societies Registration Act, 1860
▶️A company that is incorporated under section 8 of the Companies Act, 2013and has a not-for-profit purpose.
▶️SEBI may specify other entities besides the ones mentioned earlier as eligible for listing on the SSE.
FOR-PROFIT SOCIAL ENTERPRISES:
▶️It must be a profit-making company under the Companies Act, 2013, and should not fall under the purview of section 8 of the same act.
▶️A body corporate that is operating for profit
Mechanism for Fund Raising
Instruments for non-profit social enterprises are as follows:
1. Zero coupon zero principal bonds: Allowing NPOs to directly list on the SSE through issuance of bonds in the form of zero coupon or zero principal bonds. This is a feasible option to unlock funds from donors, philanthropic foundations and CSR spenders. These bonds would carry a tenure equal to the duration of the project that is being funded, and at tenure, they would be written off the investor’s books.
2. Social Venture Funds (SVF): An SVF is a category 1 Alternative Investment Fund (AIF) that is already allowed by SEBI to issue securities or units of social ventures to investors.
3. Mutual funds: An asset management company could offer closed-end mutual fund units to investors. The units could be redeemable in principal terms, but all of the returns could be channelled towards suitably chosen NPOs by the fund which acts as the intermediary.
4. Pay-for-success models: Pay-for-success models through lending partners or through grants are highlighted as effective mechanisms to ensure a more efficient and accountable deployment of capital.
For for-profit social enterprises (FPEs):
👉Equity listing: FPEs would list equity on the SSE subject to a set of listing requirements, including operating practices (financial reporting and governance) and social impact reporting.
👉Social Venture Funds (SVFs): AIFs and SVFs already exist for FPEs but do not require social impact reporting.

#Governance GS Paper 2
Context:- Government has outlined the framework of Digital India act (DIA) that overhauls IT Act 2000. "The complexity comes from the proliferation of new platforms, new devices, and now with 5G, 6G and with IoT, the complexity of the internet is 100-fold more from what it was just five years ago.

I know why you people are getting wrong in this question because you have read from the website of some well known institute.
Speciality OF CURATIVE PETITIONis that, there is no limitation period for curative petition. But the Court has said that it must be filed within a "reasonable time". (Source: https://www.livelaw.in/know-the-law/explained-what-is-curative-petition-151681 AND https://blog.ipleaders.in/history-curative-petition-india/)
Second sattement:- In Mohd arif ashfaq vs SC:- 5 judge bench held that oral hearing is a integral part of reasonable procedure. No Oral hearing has been a binding precedent in PN Eswara iyer case. Oral hearing is mandatory in death sentence case otherwise not mandatory. But the statement of 2 nd question, i think should be more clear. The word should make it right if i would have been used word Must, then it would have been wrong.
I have joined Raus ias , so MCQ will not be released and those who want to meet me, they can come at institute.

👉Social enterprises are commercial enterprises that have a primary goal of addressing a social or environmental issue, rather than maximizing profits for shareholders.
👉SSE identifies social enterprises as those organizations that engage in creating a positive impact in society.
👉They can be either not-for-profit organizations or for-profit social enterprises. NPOs are set up as charitable associations and work for the welfare of society, while for-profit social enterprises operate with a view to generating profits alongside achieving their social objectives.
