A lets a house to B at a yearly rent of Rs. 10,000. The rent for the whole of the years 2006 to 2008 is due and unpaid. A sues B in 2009 only for the rent due for 2007.

Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Order II rule 2 requires the whole accrued claim from the cause of action to be included. Successive claims under the same obligation are treated as one cause of action, and its illustration bars a later suit for omitted rent years already due when the first suit was filed. Since the 2006 and 2008 arrears were already due, A cannot reserve them merely by suing for 2007 alone.
