Correct option is C
(a) Presentation of plaint - Section 26; Order 4, Rule 1
This is
correctly matched.
Section 26 of the Code of Civil Procedure (CPC), 1908, specifies that every suit must be instituted by presenting a
plaint.
Order 4, Rule 1 elaborates on how a suit should be instituted and emphasizes the necessity of presenting a plaint.
(b) Interpleader suits - Section 88; Order 35, Rule 1
This is
correctly matched.
Section 88 of the CPC refers to
interpleader suits, where a party holding property is uncertain about the rightful owner and seeks the court's intervention.
Order 35, Rule 1 provides the detailed procedure for filing interpleader suits.
(c) Friendly suit - Section 90; Order 35
This is
incorrectly matched.
Section 90 of the CPC relates to suits of a
civil nature without dispute between the parties (friendly suits), where parties request a legal decision to confirm their rights. However,
Order 35 pertains to
interpleader suits, not friendly suits, making this combination inaccurate.
