A lets a house to B at a yearly rent of Rs 500. The rent for 1905, 1906 and 1907 is due and unpaid. In 1908, A sues B only for the rent due for 1906. Which statement is correct under the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

The Order II rule 2 illustration treats these accrued rental claims under the same obligation as one cause of action. Having sued only for 1906 rent while 1905 and 1907 rent were also due, A cannot later sue for the omitted portions. The rule prevents splitting an accrued claim into successive suits.
