In C. Govindarajulu Naidu v Secretary of State for India (19 October 1926), the court interpreted “resides” in section 19 CPC as referring to which category?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

The court's paragraph 3 interpreted "resides" as referring to "Natural persons", distinguishing legal entities and the separate carrying-on-business basis. "The wrongful act itself" is the wrong for which compensation is claimed, not a person who resides, and the interpretation is not a rule excluding corporate defendants from every territorial basis of suit.
