Question 2 of 7
2. Question
Q2. {Polity – IC – Judiciary} Consider the following statements about Remission:
- The President and governors of states’ right to remit sentences of any person convicted of any offence is the only exception when the executive can alter a sentence passed by the court.
- Like the President, the governor’s pardoning power also extends to the cases where the punishment or sentence is by a Court Martial.
- A Male Convict of Human Trafficking having completed 50% of his sentence is eligible for Remission, according to the latest Special Remission Guidelines.
How many of the above statement(s) is/are correct?
Correct
Explanation
Statement 1 is incorrect
- The President and governors of states have also been given the right to remit sentences of any person convicted of any offence under Articles 72 and 161 of the Constitution.

- The reason why remission of sentence under this section does not affect this principle that the executive cannot alter a sentence passed by the court is that merely the execution of the sentence is being altered. Remission does not mean that the person’s conviction is set aside, just that the execution is treated differently.
Statement 2 is incorrect

- The Philosophy of philosophy of Momentum Trading is “buy high, sell higher”.
- The Price of a Security in Momentum Trade is independent of the Traded Volumes.
How many of the above statement(s) is/are correct?
Correct
Explanation
Statement 1 is correct
- Momentum investing refers to a style of investing wherein investors purchase assets such as stocks or bonds that are consistently rising in price while selling assets whose prices are falling.
- Such investors invest purely based on the price trend of an asset, not backed by the analysis of the fundamental or intrinsic value of the asset.
Statement 2 is correct

Statement 3 is incorrect
- Trading volume can also signal when an investor should take profits and sell a security due to low activity.
- If there is no relationship between the trading volume and the price of a security, this signals weakness in the current trend and a possible reversal.
- For example, suppose company ABC extended its uptrend for another five months and increased by 70% in six months. The investor sees that share prices of company ABC are still in an uptrend and continues to hold on to the shares. However, the trading volume is decreasing. This could signal to the investor that the bullish uptrend in ABC stock is beginning to lose momentum and may soon end.
