In which of the following cases did the Supreme Court hold that the expression "other cause of a like nature" must be interpreted to convey something analogous to the preceding words "from defect of jurisdiction"?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
Zafar Khan interpreted “other cause of a like nature” in section 14 by reading it with defect of jurisdiction. The impediment must be analogous to a preliminary defect preventing the earlier court from entertaining the merits; an unsuccessful decision on the merits is insufficient. Due diligence, good faith and the same matter in issue are also required. The other listed cases are not the source of this particular formulation.
