Statements:
1. Justice delayed is justice denied. Justice hurried is justice buried.
2. More than 3 crore cases are pending in the Indian Courts.
Conclusions:

• A. Only Conclusion 1 follows.
• B. Only Conclusion 2 follows.
• C. Only Conclusion 3 follows.
• D. No Conclusion follows.

Hint:

When evaluating conclusions, only accept those directly supported by the given statements without making additional assumptions.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understanding the statements
- The first statement conveys that justice should neither be delayed excessively (which denies justice) nor rushed (which can lead to errors).
- The second statement highlights the backlog of cases in Indian courts.
Step 2: Evaluating Conclusion 1
- While pending cases suggest delays, the statement alone does not explicitly confirm that people are not getting justice overall.
- This conclusion is an assumption rather than a direct inference.
- Therefore, Conclusion 1 does not follow.
Step 3: Evaluating Conclusion 2
- The first statement says “Justice hurried is justice buried,” but it does not specifically refer to 'Fast track courts'.
- Hence, we cannot directly conclude that all fast-track courts cause injustice.
- Therefore, Conclusion 2 does not follow.
Step 4: Evaluating Conclusion 3
- From “Justice delayed is justice denied” and “Justice hurried is justice buried,” it logically follows that justice should be delivered in a reasonable time frame.
- This matches Conclusion 3 perfectly.
- Therefore, Conclusion 3 follows.
Step 5: Conclusion
- Only Conclusion 3 is a valid and direct inference from the statements.
\[ \boxed{\text{Only Conclusion 3 follows.}} \]
