Sample Punjab Civil Judge Written Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the Punjab Civil Judge Written exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 49+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1A person unlawfully detains another's property to cause that person to enter an agreement. Which feature brings the conduct within coercion under Contract Act section 15?

A.Every commercial bargain is coercive

B.The property must belong to the person making the threat

C.Unlawful detention of property with the intention of causing entry into an agreement

D.Only physical injury can constitute coercion

Explanation: Section 15 includes unlawful detention, or threatened detention, of property to the prejudice of any person with the intention of causing a person to enter an agreement. Coercion is therefore not restricted to physical force against the contracting party.

2A person able to dominate another's will obtains a transaction that appears unconscionable. Under Contract Act section 16(3), which burden follows when that position of dominance is established?

A.The dominant party must prove that the contract was not induced by undue influence

B.The weaker party must always disprove every possible innocent explanation

C.The contract is automatically a criminal conviction

D.No inquiry is possible unless physical force is proved

Explanation: Section 16(3) places the burden of proving absence of undue influence on the person in the position to dominate where the transaction appears unconscionable. Dominance and unconscionability matter together; the rule is not simply triggered by any unequal bargain.

3A promises a lender to discharge B's liability if B defaults. Under Contract Act section 126, what is A's role?

A.Principal debtor

B.Creditor

C.Bailee

D.Surety

Explanation: The person giving the guarantee is the surety, the person whose default is covered is the principal debtor, and the person receiving the guarantee is the creditor. The statutory definition allows a guarantee to be oral or written.

4A court-appointed guardian of a minor's property, who is neither the Collector nor a testamentary guardian, proposes a four-year lease extending two years beyond the minor's majority. Under Guardians and Wards Act section 29, is previous court permission needed?

A.No, because the lease is under five years

B.Yes, because it extends more than one year beyond majority

C.No, because every lease is ordinary management

D.Only if the tenant is related to the guardian

Explanation: Section 29 restricts a qualifying guardian from leasing for more than five years or for more than one year beyond the date of majority without previous permission. The second condition independently applies even though this lease is shorter than five years.

5The prescribed limitation period for an application expires on a day when the court is closed. What does Limitation Act section 4 permit?

A.Filing whenever the applicant chooses after reopening

B.An automatic fresh full limitation period

C.Filing on the day the court reopens

D.Filing only with the opposing party's consent

Explanation: Section 4 allows the suit, appeal or application to be instituted, preferred or made on the day the court reopens. It does not create an unrestricted extension or restart the full period.

6During an existing marriage, a man has obtained his wife's agreement to another marriage but has not obtained permission from the Arbitration Council. Which additional requirement is stated in Muslim Family Laws Ordinance section 6(1)?

A.Previous permission in writing of the Arbitration Council

B.Only an oral promise to register later

C.A rent registrar's endorsement

D.No further requirement because consent alone replaces the Council's permission

Explanation: Section 6(1) requires previous written permission of the Arbitration Council before another marriage during the subsistence of an existing marriage. The existing wife's position is relevant in the statutory process, but her agreement alone is not the Council's written permission.

7A Punjab landlord prepares a tenancy agreement and assumes that keeping it privately completes every requirement of section 5 of the Punjab Rented Premises Act, 2009. Which further step does that section require?

A.Replacing the tenancy agreement with a revenue mutation

B.Obtaining a criminal court's approval of the rent

C.Filing a civil appeal before occupation

D.Presenting the tenancy agreement before the Rent Registrar

Explanation: Section 5 requires the landlord to present the tenancy agreement before the Rent Registrar, who records particulars and performs the specified documentary steps. Entry before that official also does not absolve any separate registration obligation under document-registration law.

8Which distinction follows from CPC section 2(2)'s definition of a decree?

A.Every procedural direction is a decree

B.Rejection of a plaint is included, while dismissal for default is excluded

C.Only final decrees are recognized, never preliminary decrees

D.Every appealable order is automatically included

Explanation: Section 2(2) defines a decree through formal and conclusive adjudication of rights in controversy and expressly includes rejection of a plaint. It excludes dismissal for default and adjudications appealable as orders, and recognizes preliminary as well as final decrees.

9Under CPC section 15, which court grade is the ordinary starting point for instituting a suit, provided that court is competent to try it?

A.Any higher court chosen solely for convenience

B.The High Court in every civil dispute

C.The lowest grade competent to try the suit

D.The criminal court nearest the plaintiff

Explanation: Section 15 directs institution in the court of the lowest grade competent to try the suit. Competence remains essential, so the rule does not authorize filing in a court lacking subject-matter, territorial or pecuniary jurisdiction.

10A defendant seeks to set aside an ex parte decree solely because of an irregularity in service. The court records that the defendant knew the hearing date in sufficient time to appear and answer the claim. What does the further proviso to CPC Order IX rule 13 indicate?

A.The decree is not to be set aside merely for that irregularity in these circumstances

B.Every service irregularity necessarily nullifies the decree

C.Knowledge of the hearing date is legally irrelevant

D.The plaintiff must automatically abandon the suit

Explanation: Order IX rule 13 recognizes non-service and sufficient cause for absence, but its further proviso addresses mere service irregularity where timely knowledge is established and reasons are recorded. The stated facts engage that qualification rather than an automatic setting aside.
