In such a flat environment, disputes will have to be resolved by new rules of the game. For, the existing legal principles are predicated on the theory of territorial supremacy of the nation states and the laws are essentially territorial in their application.This will give way to the denationalisation of justice. Irrespective of nationality or location, participants in the web-enabled global playing field will opt to be governed by a new set of rules, contractually accepted by them, and not their national laws. ______________

For example, the process itself may take the form of parties sitting in different jurisdictions submitting themselves to the authority of a judicial forum located somewhere else -- all brought together on a real time basis through the process of tele-immersion, which will give the illusion of all the parties being present in the same place.

Solution

The correct option is B
This will give rise to more and more people exercising the option to choose their own dispute settlement forum

Consider the last line of the paragraph, "Irrespective of nationality or location, participants in the web-enabled global playing field will opt to be governed by a new set of rules, contractually accepted by them, and not their national laws.” The chosen option must be in synchronized logically with this line. Option (a) goes too far beyond the scope of the passage by talking about national sovereignty and is easily eliminated. Option (c) is a likely answer. Option (d) tries to explain through the help of an example but out of all these, option (b) seems to be the best answer as it clearly underlines the fundamental reason for people not wanting to be governed by their national when in a web-enabled global playing field.

I have spoken of liberty as good, but it is not an absolute good. We all recognise the need to restrain murderers, and it is even more important to restrain murderous states. Liberty must be limited by law, and its most valuable forms can only exist within the framework of law. What the world most needs are effective laws to control international relations. The first and most difficult step in the creation of such laws is the establishment of adequate sanctions and this is only possible through the creation of a single armed force, which is in control of the whole world.
But such an armed force, like a municipal police force, is not an end in itself; it is the means to the growth of a social system governed by law, where force is not the prerogative of private individuals or nations, but is exercised only by a neutral authority in accordance with rules laid down in advance. There is hope that law, rather than private force, may come to govern the relations of nations within the present century.
A single armed force should be in control

Read the following passage and answer the (four) items that follow

Traditional concept of "access to justice" as understood by common man is access to courts of law. For a common man, a court is the place where justice is meted out to him/her. But the courts have become inaccessible due to various barriers such as poverty, social, and political backwardness, illiteracy, ignorance, procedural formalities, and the like.
To get justice through courts one has to go through the complex and costly procedures involved in litigation. One has to bear the costs of litigation, including court fee and, of course, the lawyer's fee. A poor litigant who is barely able to feed himself will not be able to afford justice or obtain legal redressal for a wrong done to him, through courts. Further a large part of the population in India is illiterate and live in abject poverty. Therefore, they are totally ignorant about the court procedures, and are terrified and confused when faced with the judicial machinery. Thus, most of the citizens of India are not in a position to enforce their rights, constitutional or legal, which in effect generates inequality.
It is one of the most important duties of a welfare state to provide judicial and non-judicial dispute—resolution mechanisms to which all citizens have equal access for resolution of their legal disputes and enforcement of their fundamental and legal rights. Poverty, ignorance, or social inequalities should not become barriers to it.
The Judiciary is playing a significant role in providing justice to the underprivileged, indigent, and helpless individuals through public interest litigation. The legal aid network is taking firm roots and legal services functionaries are actively engaged in fulfilling the constitutional promise of equality before the law. The provision of legal aid to eligible persons, the speedy settlement of their legal disputes by counseling and conciliation and failing that by Lok Adalats rank high on the agenda of legal services functionaries, as high as running legal education awareness programs. Of course, we have miles to go before we can claim that the realm of equal justice for all has become a reality
