Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Manohar Singh v D.S. Sharma held that non-payment of costs under Section 35B CPC does not automatically dismiss the suit. The defaulting party loses the right to further participate, while the other party may proceed and the court decides the case according to law. The judgment therefore distinguishes a procedural consequence of default from automatic termination of the suit.
