In which one of the following cases it has been held that Section 9 of Civil Procedure Code, 1973, which enables a civil court to try all suits of civil nature, impliedly confers jurisdiction to apply the law of torts as principles of justice, equity, and good conscience?

Correct option is A

In Union Carbide Corporation vs. Union of India (1991 AIR 273, 1991 SCR (2) 92), the Supreme Court held that under Section 9 of CPC, the civil courts have the jurisdiction to entertain suits of civil nature, and even in absence of any codified tort law, they can apply principles of justice, equity, and good conscience, thereby conferring jurisdiction to deal with tortious claims such as compensation in the Bhopal Gas Tragedy.
