Q1.  You are posted in a district as a public servant for looking into the matters of violations of Right to Education Act. You came across a case in which a poor farmer had beaten his daughter for not going to take her fifth-class annual exams. Eventually, he tied her up with his motorbike and took her to the examination hall. Corporal punishment to the children by parents or teachers is punishable offence with three-month jail term.

When you enquired about it the poor farmer explained that he had done so for ensuring a better future for her daughter as he does not want his children to live in poverty in which he is living.
