Bare act

Logic — no governing enactment

This paper has no statute behind it. It is examined on whether you can tell a valid argument from an invalid one: terms and propositions, the square of opposition, conversion and obversion, the categorical syllogism with its figures, moods and rules, and the informal fallacies. Legal examples are used throughout — a judgment is an argument, and most bad ones fail on a rule of the syllogism or on an informal fallacy you can name.

The sections below are the ones the LL.B. papers examine on this Act, with the unit that covers each and the cases decided on it. The official text is on India Code ↗.
