Q1. Which of the following is a violation of Fundamental Rights in India? Choose the most appropriate option.
A Banning of tobacco products
B Not paying minimum wages to workers Correct
C Banning the use of loudspeaker after 9 pm
D Delivering a speech
Explanation
Not paying minimum wages to workers is treated as a violation because it can amount to forced labour under Article 23 when labour is extracted for less than the legally fixed minimum. Banning tobacco products is a public-health regulation and does not by itself violate a Fundamental Right. Restricting loudspeakers after 9 pm is a reasonable control linked to public order, health and noise limits. Delivering a speech is normally an exercise of freedom of speech, not a violation of Fundamental Rights.
