What will be the nature of an order passed by Court rejecting the plaint for non-payment of a Court fee?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Rejection of a plaint is expressly included in the definition of decree in section 2(2) CPC. Non-payment after the opportunity required by Order VII rule 11(c) can lead to that rejection. Although the disposal is final in that proceeding, its statutory procedural classification is a decree, which is why an ordinary decree appeal rather than an interlocutory-order route applies.
