1. Simplify the following passages by using plain English language:
A. Promptly after receipt of notice by an indemnified party under section 1(g), 8 (a) or 8 (b)
hereof of notice of commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in
respect thereto is to be made against an indemnifying party under such section, give notice
to the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, but the failure so to notify the
indemnifying party shall not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified
party except to the extent the indemnifying party demonstrates that the defense of such
action is prejudiced thereby.
(7.5 Marks)
B. Nothing in articles 301 and 303 shall affect the provisions of any existing law on the day of
commencement of this Constitution except in so far as the President may by order
otherwise direct; and nothing in article 301 shall affect the operation of any law made
before the commencement of the Constitution (Fourth Amendment) Act, 1955, in so far as
it relates to, or prevents Parliament or the Legislature of a State from making any law
relating to, any such matter as is referred to in sub-clause (ii) of clause (6) of article 19.

way of what is implied in the text of Article 72?
(15 Marks)

arbitrary and therefore, there is value in vagueness in law. Critically examine the given statement
