    (1) Historically, the labour of this group of people was typically assessed in motor accident cases using conservative and arbitrary metrics. A Supreme Court bench of Justice Sanjay Karol and Justice NK Singh has fundamentally altered this paradigm by mandating a strict notional income floor of ₹30,000 per month, entirely distinct from any compensation for emotional loss. The Court also recognised this group as “nation-builders” and noted that their contributions amount for up to 15-17% of the country's GDP.

    What demographic is being recognized in this manner?

    (2) The last name of erstwhile Massachusetts governor Elbridge _____ (pictured) and the shape of a newly carved electoral district in Boston being likened to a mythical fire-breathing creature gave rise to what portmanteau term for a form of political manipulation in the 19th century USA? This practice has been described as 'politicians picking their voters, rather than voters picking their politicians'.

    (3) Derived from a traditional Parsi occupational title, this surname literally translates to a maker of palanquins, historically used by nobility. Its most prominent bearer was one of India's most respected legal luminaries. Among his many claims to fame were his annual public addresses that famously filled the Brabourne Stadium year after year.

    Identify the surname or the legendary personality.

    (4) In a May 2026 judgment, the Delhi High Court ruled against Google in a trademark dispute, holding that the tech giant could not claim "safe harbour" as a neutral intermediary. The court found that by allowing rival sanitaryware brands like Cera and Grohe to pay to use the name of one of their rival brands as a hidden search trigger, the platform was found to have actively profited from the trademark holder's established goodwill.

    Which prominent Indian sanitaryware brand successfully won this lawsuit?

    (5) In December 2025, the Supreme Court dismissed a plea seeking to ban a recent memoir because of the photograph of the author on its cover. The court rejected the argument that the image violated anti-tobacco laws.

    The book takes its title from the opening lyrics of a famous 1970 song and the person invoked in this title was the lead petitioner in a landmark 1986 Supreme Court case.

    Identify the book in question.
