Matching Law Theories with Jurists

This question requires matching specific legal theories from List-I with the jurists associated with them in List-II.

Theory of Social Solidarity and Duguit

The Theory of Social Solidarity emphasizes law's function in maintaining social cohesion and cooperation. Léon Duguit is a key proponent, viewing law as arising from the objective needs of society and the solidarity it fosters.

Theory of Categorical Imperative and Emanual Kant

The Theory of Categorical Imperative, a foundational concept in the moral philosophy of Immanuel Kant, deals with duties and universal moral laws. Its principles influence ethical considerations within legal frameworks.

Imperative Theory of Law and John Austin

The Imperative Theory of Law defines law as a command given by a sovereign and enforced by sanctions. This view is most famously associated with John Austin.

Theory of Living Law and Ehrlich

The Theory of Living Law, developed by Eugen Ehrlich, distinguishes between law as written rules and the actual rules of conduct observed in society ("living law"). Ehrlich argued that living law, derived from social customs and norms, is the true essence of law.

Correct Code Combination

Based on these matches:

• (a) Theory of social solidarity matches with (ii) Duguit.
• (b) Theory of categorical Imperative matches with (iv) Emanual Kant.
• (c) Imperative Theory of Law matches with (iii) John Austin.
• (d) Theory of Living Law matches with (i) Ehrlich.

Therefore, the correct code is (ii) (iv) (iii) (i).
