Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Section 7(v) values suits for possession of land, houses and gardens according to the value of the subject-matter. For land forming an entire estate (or a definite share of one) paying annual revenue to Government, the value is five times the revenue payable where the revenue is settled but not permanently (clause (b)), and ten times the revenue where it is permanently settled (clause (a)).

Fifteen times the net profits of the year before the plaint applies to land paying no such revenue (clause (c)), and market-value applies to land that is part of an estate but neither a definite share nor separately assessed (clause (d)), and to houses and gardens. Many States have their own Court-fees Acts or State amendments, which govern suits filed there.
