Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Section 115 addresses a subordinate court’s exercise of jurisdiction not vested in it, failure to exercise jurisdiction vested in it, and illegal or materially irregular exercise of jurisdiction. All three listed jurisdictional errors are covered. The power is subject to the no-appeal condition and statutory restrictions on interference with interlocutory orders; it is not a general appeal to reweigh evidence or correct every legal error.
