Section 19 of the Court-fees Act, 1870 relates to:
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
Section 19 of the Court-fees Act, 1870 is headed 'Exemption of certain documents'. Its list includes specified documents such as written statements called for after the first hearing and bail bonds. The numbering extends to (xxiv), but clauses (ii) and (iv) are repealed; it is inaccurate to call these twenty-four operative exempt classes. Refund is addressed in sections 13-16; reduction and remission by the appropriate government in section 35.
Option feedback
Option A
Incorrect. Refund of court fee is dealt with under Sections 13 to 16 of the Court-fees Act, 1870, not Section 19.
Option B
Incorrect. Power to reduce or remit court fees by notification of the Appropriate Government is provided under Section 35 of the Court-fees Act, 1870.
Option C
Section 19 specifies exempt documents rather than a general discretionary exemption for every pleading. Clauses (ii) and (iv) are repealed, so twenty-four operative classes must not be claimed.
Option D
Section 19 is headed 'Exemption of certain documents' and exempts the specified documents; its original numbering through (xxiv) includes repealed entries.
