Under the unamended rule in section 7(i) of the Court-fees Act, 1870, assuming no special exemption, which statement describes computation of the fee in an ordinary money suit?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
Under section 7(i) of the Court-fees Act, 1870, the fee in an ordinary money suit is computed according to the amount claimed. This question assumes no special exemption or applicable amendment. Partition and maintenance calculations are separate provisions and must not be generalised across state variations.
Option feedback
Option A
Section 7(i) expressly computes the money-suit fee according to the amount claimed.
Option B
A partition-share rule does not describe computation in an ordinary money suit under section 7(i).
Option C
The unamended section 7(ii) uses ten times an annual amount for maintenance, not half the subject value; it does not describe section 7(i).
Option D
The explicit money-suit rule is present, so rejection of every offered rule is incorrect.
