Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Section 80(2) permits an urgent/immediate-relief suit against government or the relevant public officer with the court’s leave, without the subsection (1) notice. Leave is essential; urgency alone does not dispense with notice. The court must give the government/officer a reasonable opportunity to show cause before granting relief, and return the plaint for the notice procedure if urgency is not established.
